I guess I was referring to the document you sent, example 3:
Example 3 – Nonresident. David is domiciled in New York. He is transferred to his employer’s Maine
office for a temporary assignment from March 1 to November 30 (274 days), after which he returns to New
York. Although David takes an apartment in Maine during this period and he is not a Maine resident, he
spends more than 183 days of the taxable year in Maine, he is not a Maine resident because he did not have
a permanent place of abode in Maine for the entire year. Instead, David will be subject to tax as a nonresident
on his income from Maine sources, including any salary or other compensation for services performed in
Maine.
Because we did not have permanent residence in Maine the entire year, could we qualify based on this example? Or would it be non-resident until June, and the Statutory resident from June-December? I guess I was hoping that maybe my husband could claim the house and therefore statutory residency, and I could claim nonresidency (if we filed separately) to appease my employer and avoid paying taxes on worldwide income. I surely didn't think being a student in Maine would come with so many taxes!
