Just curious if any one precedent overrides the other and

A state with income tax will do everything possible to claim you
unless you go through a total "divorce" proceeding with them. That
means no traceable property ownership, no registered vehicles or
boats, no kids in school, no source of income, no financial accounts,
no drivers license, no utility bills, etc. They may even try to claim
your pension if you retire to another state, better to move first,
then retire.

It sounds like you've spent some time in Virginia. The tax folks here
are horrendous about changing state of residency.

I like the county sticker scam. You can't get your county sticker unless
you pay your county personal property tax. When was your personal
property tax due? December 5th each year. Freaking *******s.

The last new car I bought in Virginia in 1988 cost me nearly $2000 for
the privilege of living in Fairfax County and getting the honor of
paying personal property tax.

Just before moving to Florida I lived in NY and worked in NJ. New
Jersey was even trying to tax my wife's income which was earned in NY.

One of my finest days was when I divorced them both.

Amen

reply: lots of folks kissing NY good bye.


....and first wives.

They did away with the sticker, here in Fairfax County, but they kept
the tax. The police used to drive around and ticket cars without
stickers, and folks that live in the county could report cars without
stickers. But, too many illegal aliens were getting caught. So they
did away with stickers.

I moved out too soon or they moved in too late.
