Is there a possibility that we are related ? I mena........GEEZ !!........my wife is the same way ! Has absolutely no room for the possibility of moving not only out of NY State, but also away from the NY metro area. :ohdear:

There's always that WDW option we discussed yesterday ! :icon_wink:

There are lots of examples out there. Just Google "Florida Homestead Exemption crackdown" (without the quotes)

If you know of someone who thinks they are getting away with it, be a friend, let them know there is a crackdown. The odds are against them and the payback is hefty.

Had a friend who did this exact same thing, and that's what the did with handling income tax.
Not according to our Accountant. We can file jointly. Will leave you know after we file.

Wifey says there is nothing to do down here. She keep threatening to leave me here alone. :)

I don't think so, Tom. You can be Goofy if you want, but I'll take DD or one of the other MALE characters. :)

REALLY interested in that.

Didn't think that was possible.

Tom, you and I are in similar situations. If I was able to change residency to FL, I believe that I would be exempt from paying MA state income tax on my pension.

I have to do additional research and get advice from by accountant. Even if my wife doesn't spend as much time in TV as me, I envision that I'll be here more than 6 months a year. At that point, I don't know if the answer is to file
"married filing separately". As with most things, there are advantages and disadvantages.

To file for homestead do you go to 466 and Morse or 466A and Powell or either. The appraisers office is listed at both places?

ricthemic 02-28-2012 08:33 PM
time is running out
 
I think you only have until Feb 29 (tomorrow) to file for this year (or is it last yr?) but it has to be done by tomorrow for sumter county anyway

Filing deadline is March 1st - 5 pm. - I can't believe we kept pushing this off - now it is get a license, registration and file. Thank goodness it is a leap year - oldest daughter celebrates her 10th birthday which makes her . . . and us - running crazy. I am such a procrastinator.
