Establishing residency in another state from domicile
Recently pruchased a home in NC. Am in NC more than 6 months out of year, but husband is currently workign FT in DC area. I am federal retiree and can benefit from NC state tax which DOES NOT tax my federal retirement. What steps do I need to take to establish such residency for tax purposes?
Do my husband and I need to file separately? We currently file jointly?
My first inclination is to get dirvers license -- easy enough -- but what does that set in motion for checkign accounts, car registration, etc. Husband is still primary in DC and we are jointly on everything? Any advice before I dive in?
