Hi there,
we are now back on the road after living in Philadelphia for 14 months taking care of my parents. Since our 17 SD
Casita "Kat" is our only "home" we have used myhomeaddress.com in South Dakota as our mailing and legal address since July of 2005.
In South Dakota a PMB is a legal address for registering autos, getting a driver's
license, voting, etc.
I just voted by absentee ballot in the democratic primary.
There are some county differences as to voting requirements (some require at least one night's stay in SD)and there is some sort of
axle tax in some counties.
Remember, as others have said, your legal address is also a matter of intent. I have all my banking, and other finances in SD. I vote in SD, my van and
casita are registered in SD.
When i work in other states I am only a temporary resident. YES I do pay state and local taxes on that income, and if the State taxes my meager public school teacher pension, I must pay on it too. I try to never work in a State which will tax my pension and there are plenty that don't or that exclude some of it (from $2000 to some states like PA which excludes $60000 I think). Not sure since that is almost double the exclusion i need.
Anyway, we are at
www.meadow-vale.com for most of the summer. Stop by if you are in the area!!
