Plenty of guys at my CO own crash pads in places they are based but actually live in FL. This isn't an abnormal lifestyle for people like us.
Ok and if hey live in Florida, commute to HNL, stay in a crashpad before/after a trip and then commute back to Florida, that's perfectly legal. Now continue living in that "crashpad" full time, don't reside in Florida, and only have your mail sent there and keep a FL license, filing a FL state return, while you continue to reside in HNL in your crashpad, that's tax fraud.
Don't want to pay 10% state income tax in Hawaii? Don't live in Hawaii. It's really that simple. You should know that before taking a job at HAL.
And this isn't a company taking a tax loophole. This is outright tax evasion and fraud.
