Hello,
I suppose whether or not we should do this is its own, probably not tax-related, question, but even if we both paid OH income tax on all of our joint income, we'd still come out ahead keeping our vehicle registered & insured in OH (for just 6 months of worse insurance, we'd already more than offset the difference even if both were fully taxed).
My husband's job is not great, so I don't know if we'll stay in WA, as it is a HCOL area. I am a nurse. We initially ended up here when I took a travel assignment in a different city. I no longer do travel nursing. I just have "normal" nurse jobs. I have licenses in both states, in addition to a compact license. I also have a remote, seasonal, non-nursing job I can do as an OH resident. We have a house in Ohio that we rent out rooms in, and we sometimes reside in a section of the house.
