Paying taxes is not a choice.  Where one lives, and how those taxes are collected, IS a choice.  

 

I have been alive for several decades.  For a small portion of those several decades, I have worked in NYC.  But I would NEVER move to NY state to be burdened by their excessive taxes.  No, no Southern state has done anything to attract me.  I am simply smart enough to realize that if I buy a home in NY, I will pay hundreds of thousands more in real estate tax than I will in say Alabama or Arkansas or South Carolina. It has nothing to do with recent tax cuts.  I chose not to live in NY 30 year ago, and 20 years ago, and 10 years ago, and next year, and... (hopefully you get the point).

 

I know a gal who sold her (paid off) home in SC, and moved to Long Island.  Mortgage aside, her property taxes were about $13,000 per year.  That;s more than some people’s mortgages in other states, including escrow.  WHY would anyone willing subject themselves to this?

I pay close to 7K per year for property tax in Texas, Rip off in my opinion

Oh -- to make Gov. Cuomo happy, should we build a border wall to keep New Yorkers out of Texas?

I wa thinking more like Cuomo building his own wall around NY to keep people in.  I seem to remember some other governments that are very restrictive in how they treat their people.

So if you moved to Florida and get a tax audit, what power does New York have over you to make you pay?

State tax laws.  If you your income from NY is more than 50.1% but you reside in other state, you must pay state taxes in both states.

 

Some states have reciprocal agreements for this issue, but not too many.  Gott check for each individual.

So if you live in a state without state income taxes and New York came after you for back taxes, how could they enforce you paying?

 

Looks like most states would tell New York AG to pound sand

Because you are breaking a law.  They can garnish your wages if you don't self-rectify.

I can't see Texas allowing them to garnish a wages for that, it would have to be issued by the Attorney General of Texas to garnish a wage and only have seen them do that for child support.

If you worked in NY, TX does not control your wages nor your employer, NY does.  😎

It happens in the North East states. Many Ppl that work in NYC live in  PA. Some even live as far as Delaware which has some of the lowest property taxes. But their checks still get taxed based on their income in NYC. 

 

There are some states that neighbor each other that have reciprocity agreements.

  He came to mind because I always think he won it one year. He had an amazing season, but John Smoltz had way more wins playing for one of those stacked Braves teams and Smoltz ended up winning by a couple of votes.

1.  On one house?  I'd compliment you on it, but you'd say, "Oh, don't mansion it."

2.  All taxes are, in some way, a rip-off.
