[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're following OP's plan.  But I have questions.

We want to try this new model of "transitional retirement."  So for two years after our move, we'd continue to work.  Just from a lovely beach town in North Carolina.

My husband's company has North Carolina operations, and would let him work from our home there.  He'd come back and forth to our Bethesda home as needed but be careful not to be back here more than 183 days.  Is it safe to assume that if he find some urgent need to spend a few more days than that, he can stay in a DC hotel rather than our Bethesda house, and Maryland can't say anything about it?

As for me, I'll probably get a part-time job or maybe a remote one.  But I think my current employer might ask me to stay on as a part-time consultant.  If I agree to that, I'll still need to be back in Maryland a fair amount.

Do I need to make sure that my days in Maryland are the exact same as my husbands?  Do we both just track and make sure that together we're not totaling up a combined 183 days?

All this is a little complicated.  But we're really excited about getting out of the DC area full time for a few years.  And then coming back when our kids start having kids.

Correct…you just have to not be in MD for 183 days, so you can stay in a DC hotel.

They will add your days together and claim you were in MD for more than 183 days if you travel at different times.  The days don’t have to be exactly the same, but in an extreme example he can’t be in MD from Jan to April and then he leaves and you go May- August, and you say you didn’t violate 183 days.[/quote]
