“… How does a state enforce an “exit tax”?…”
I do not know. Hawaii has a similar scheme in place. When I relocated from Hawaii to Florida I was informed that I would owe income tax to Hawaii as long I maintained ANY services or banking in the state. My phone service and of course banking was in Hawaii until I could establish myself in Florida. That took several months to find employment, etc.
When the tax notice arrived from Honolulu, I circular filed it. That 12 years ago. Haven’t heard a word since, but I’m still on the voter rolls there.
You probably don't want to go back for a visit.
“When the tax notice arrived from Honolulu, I circular filed it. “
their computer isn’t very persistent ... i still get forwarded property tax notices from a county in another state regarding a tiny two-room apartment my deceased father owned there at one time but which has long since been sold ...
after MANY years of such tax notices, the total (including mostly “penalties”) is over $300,000 ... it’s amazing what compounded interest can do! ... still, it’s intriguing that they apparently haven’t attempted to file tax liens against subsequent owners ... oh well, not my problem ...
