State tax filing
Thank you for responding to my question. You wouldn't mind commenting further on the Massachusetts rules on establishing a domicile, I would appreciate it.
The basic rules indicate that a person has a domicile/legal residence when it is a domicile of choice (done by changing residence). It also states a new domicile can only be acquired by abandoning the current domicile; establishing a residence at the new place; AND intending to make the new residence one's home permanently, or an indefinite time, with no certain, present intention to return to the previous home. So, we moved to Florida. We did have to change our address to the Florida address on bank accounts, tax records (1099-S, etc.). We no longer own the Massachusetts property. We essentially abandoned it.
We did intend to move to NH and make it our legal residence.
But for the period after March 15th to July 29, 2019, we would have to consider the Florida address as our legal residence/domicile. We did not have multiple residence where one was used for general living and another for tax purposes. We had only the Florida condo which we own.
I'm inclined to interpret the Massachusetts rules in a way where our income for Massachusetts is only for the period of January 1 through March 15, 2019. So, I remain perplexed on how TT will handle it properly.
Your thinking is important to me so please add any other interpretations/understandings. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
