State of Domicile vs temporary move
Hi all,
I have been a New Jersey resident since 2009. I moved to Pennsylvania under a temporary arrangement in August 2020, always intending to move back to NJ when the Covid crisis eases, but I didn't renew my lease in NJ (i.e. I don't have a residence / place of abode in NJ now). I got a PA driver's license under my temporary address as required by PA law. I will move to a new address in NJ once I move back, hopefully in 2021.
I would like to determine whether my tax domicile remained in NJ all the way, or if I'll need to file part-year PA resident returns for 2020 and 2021.
I don't have an agenda here (either way is fine, little difference in tax bottom line), just want to do it correctly. However, I need to know soon so I can pay estimated taxes for Q4 2020 to the correct state.
Any help is much appreciated!
