“I am moving my permanent residence from a high-tax state to a state with zero income tax, how many days must I live there to survive a residency audit from my former state?”

High urgencyDeep Dive · 60 min · $170

Residency audits often focus on more than just the number of days spent in a new state, especially when someone is moving from a higher-tax state to one with no income tax. Auditors commonly look at where your permanent home is, where family and personal belongings are kept, voter and vehicle records, and whether your day-to-day ties shifted in a consistent way. The answer can also depend on how the former state applies statutory residency rules and how well the move is documented. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.

In your 60-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
