"In order to change domiciles from Alabama, a taxpayer must abandon Alabama, and also establish a new domicile elsewhere with the intent to remain permanently, or at least indefinitely. The burden is on a taxpayer asserting a change of domicile to prove that a change of domicile has occurred. The presumption is in favor of the original or former domicile, as against a newly acquired one." Duncan v. Alabama Department of Revenue, Admin. L. Div., Docket No. INC. 09-300 (November 16, 2009).
