Expert: Glenn D Schnabel Date: 7/4/2008 Subject: moving from one state to another mid year
Question QUESTION: I am considering moving from Texas where there is no state income tax to upstate new york, specifically watertown new york. If I were to move around the November time frame do I have to pay state income tax and which state do I file my return in?
ANSWER: Michelle,
Thank you for your question. You should file as a part year resident from Nov thru Dec 2007 for New York.
Consider yourself as a resident of Texas from Jan 2007 thru October 2007
You are only subject to income you received from NY sources for NY State services.
Don't forget to see if you qualify for moving expenses on form 3903.
Hope this is helpful,

I work from home my company is based in Dallas so how does that play into it. If my house does not sell and I sitll who that as my residence am I okay to show file for Texas? I am just staying with someone in New York I do not rent or own any property.
Answer Michelle,
Thank you for your follow up question.
1)so are you saying only those 2 months of income that I earn would be subject to state income tax and if so how much. I work from home my company is based in Dallas so how does that play into it
Yes, only those two months. It depends on how much income you earn.
The whole question had to do with is "where are you domiciled"?
It does not matter where the company is based. It matters where you are based.
2)If my house does not sell and I still who that as my residence am I okay to show file for Texas?
If you are physically located in NY, You become subject to NY laws.
3) I am just staying with someone in New York I do not rent or own any property.
If you consider yourself to be domiciled in Texas, then you are subject to Texas law. If you are temporarily in NY, then technically, you are subject to NY laws.
Technically, how do you answer these questions:
A) Which state do you vote in?
B) Where is your car registered?
C) Where is your mail sent and where do you pick up your mail?
All these answers point to "where you are domiciled".
