New York state non resident
My job was relocated to NY this year from Pa. I will be working here for about 4 years till retirement. I must maintain my residence in Pa where our aged parents live and need some support. Our son also attends school in Pa and needs the home there. My wife will split her time between the two homes.
We did purchase a home in NY because it was less expensive than renting. I am paying NY state taxes.
Will I be requried to change my residency status?
Regards,
Jeff

As long as you spend the majority of your time at your original home then no. The second home is just that, a second home. Where ever the majority of your time is, is your state of residency. Of course if you do find yourself in NY more than in PA then yes, you will have to change.

Stin, I am assuming that you are referring to NY tax laws. Because as a general proposition there is no requirement that you do anything specific to "change" your residence status simply because you spend more time in one place than another.

Actually that's not really true. Most states have requirements for drivers license and as pasrt of being a primary resident of the state there are other requirements that go along with it. As far as the taxes goes if you earned it in New York then they want you to pay there regardless how much time you spent there.
