Moving to New York, what to do?

Question

Hi All! I'm moving to new york, however, I still have a solid salary come in from my home state texas. I want my income to be tax free from texas but live in New york, how can I do that? I read something about an 183 day rule?

Yes, they usually own or rent (and can produce lease) in the other state.

Typically, income generated in NYC is taxed in NYC.

If you have a property in Texas and do not overstay, you should be fine. But questions may arise.

@Alexander Szikla Isn't that what most snowbirds do? They have a residence in a tax free state?

My primary home is in texas and my salary comes from Texas, if I live in NYC do I need to pay the tax rate of new york?

@Mike Rodriguez, yes you cannot spend more more than 182 in NYC. If you do, New York becomes your primary residency.

Do you plan to maintain a residency in Texas while living here as well?
