Texas & Georgia -Tax questions
My husband and I live in Texas. I'm a native Texan, having lived here for over 35 years and he has lived in Texas for 18+ years. He was active duty military for quite a while, and is now an Air Force Reservist stationed at a Texas AFB. We have NEVER lived in a state that has state income taxes. Recently, he accepted a civilian job offer in Georgia. I was not happy when I learned about the state income taxes there. I read something about if work is done outside of Georgia, then you don't have to pay taxes on that income. He is a pilot. Some of his work would be in Georgia, because the jet flies out of the Atlanta area, but MOST of it would NOT be because he flies all over the country as well as out of the country for much of the time. Also, he does his Military Reserve duty here in Texas, for 1 week per month, every month. We will probably end up "moving" to Atlanta, but I do not want to give up our TX residency nor pay GA taxes if possible. We own our home here in TX. What if we kept it and just rented a place in GA? What if we lived in TX for part of the year and GA for part of the year? What are our options? Help!
