Not really seriously thinking of moving at the moment, but as I was doing my NC taxes, I saw a separate fields for residency ("you" and "spouse"). We've talked about it and I figured I could be away from NC for more than 6 months per year (say 4.1 months in Florida, my new residency and 2 traveling). DW could do 4.1 months in Florida, and maybe a few weeks traveling is all she wants, so more than 6 months in NC.
If I changed my residency to Florida, and she stayed as an NC resident, how does income tax work? For instance, if I was a Florida resident, would I have saved a bundle on my recent mega Roth conversion? NC rate: 5.25%, Florida rate: 0%. The Roth account is in my name, if that makes a difference.
I know, tail wagging the dog and all that, but this is more about curiosity. And if I were serious about it, I'd hire a pro. But I figured someone on here might have experience with this kind of thing.
