I'm finding the NY state residency rules a little tricky, and would like to check that I'm reading this correctly...
We're selling our house in WA, then travelling to upstate NY to live in an Airbnb for a few months until we find and purchase a house in upstate NY. So, we will be first year NYS residents starting later this year (no earlier than July 24). We won't have any NY-based wage income until mid-August at the earliest.
Is this true?
1. We are a NYS nonresident until we purchase and move into a new house in NY? Airbnb doesn't count as domicile/residency - in fact, I don't even enter the Airbnb date on IT-203?
2. If our house sale in WA closes before the first day we live in our new NY house (our new "domicile"), we don't owe any NY state taxes on the house sale.
3. Also true? if our house sale in WA closes *after* we get our new house in NY, we *still* do not owe NY state taxes on it?
Thanks!
