We lived in NY for over 20 years while owning a place on Long Island at South Point. I SO wanted to declare NH my domicile! MY accountant said NO WAY an it wasn't until 2014 that we actually moved.



Subsequently, we have moved to FL which is becoming more tax friendly than NH.


You are correct and NY goes through all your records with a fine tooth comb. Including doctor and dentist visits, cell phone bill, auto records, veterinary bills or pets, meals and food purchases. They have been very successful collecting from those that do not actually spend the 6 months and a day. A large focus are those who change residency to Florida
