The IRS and local state tax agencies are on to the “scam” of claiming residence in one state and living in another. There is a classic court case involving a NWA pilot, claiming FL residence and living in MN. It’s an interesting read on how the judge determined residency.
I'm sure your accountant is doing you right. In my situation, I DO own a home in CA, as well as one in the Chicago burbs, and I would never keep my Chicago place now that my folks are gone. So I don't think their is any way to swing avoiding the 13.9% CA income tax rate.
Ahhh, if only her legs (MAX) were a little wee bit, tiny more long... we wouldn't be so tied to needing a CA base to serve Hawaii.
