And how many people does the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance employ to harass people who have moved out from NY and squeeze every last drop of revenue it can? I’d guess hundreds.
While I was in the Navy, I was transferred from California to Massachusetts. To simplify my personal admin burden, I kept my official residence as California. The upshot of that was that since I was in the military but serving outside the state, California said I owed them no income tax. Every year, Taxachusetts sent me a nasty threatening letter demanding I pay their state income tax. I simply appended a copy of my CA zero dollar tax return to a copy of their letter in my return envelope. I will admit to openly smirking while I did so. Happy days, happy days. No, I never returned to the Left Coast.
Audits soon to be going up. It’s just a matter of time before States challenge the constitutionality of the ‘State Exit Tax’.
