Aren't pilots supposed to be a smarter group of people?

For sure...Pilots are so smart with money they "invest" in things like the Iraqi Dinar and Optioneer. Some were even involved in the Via Lobos brothers in Costa Rica.

Keep the first wife, the second home, and if it guaranties more than 10% ROI it's a scam. Oh and never take financial advice from another pilot!

What he said. Sold my house in CA, bought house in LAS, registered vehicles in NV, got NV drivers license and I still get love letters from the Franchise Tax Board and the CA DMV demanding money. It's like being stalked by a psycho ex-girlfriend. Makes me glad I escaped that squirrel cage.

Do you have a source on that or did you hear it from some person third hand about going to jail. Further, you are saying you have to own property to prove you live somewhere. I guess all the snow birds who stay in Florida for more than six months will all be deported after serving time in jail :rolleyes:


STATE v. HICKMAN | FindLaw

This is just one case from the early 2000s. At one point, there were more than 40 employees of Northwest Airlines under investigation or indictment for tax evasion in Minnesota. I cannot speak to the other poster's personal connection to anyone in tax trouble for similar circumstances, but there are plenty of cases out there regarding airline pilots and tax evasion. Bottom line, get professional advice, try it if you want, but be prepared to face the music if an overzealous auditor decides to come after you.

Make sure your tax guy is also willing to be your cell mate and help you stab garbage with a pointy stick along the interstate ;)

The NWA pilots that were caught were idiots. They claimed a small cabin in the woods as their primary residence while their paper trail (DL, car registration, kids in school) was elsewhere.

There is a right and wrong way to be a resident of a state. Owning property (even a small house or townhome), keeping your cars registered there, your mail going there, and your DL there is the way to do it.

If you have kids, it's kinda hard as where ever they go to school you're stuck. Also if your spouse works (unless from home) you're also stuck.

Tax preparers are actually not on the hook believe it or not. Pretty crazy.

Some of those guys were getting tax advice from supposed professionals...

What you're talking about is very different from a PO Box and mail forwarding.

What tax rules, specifically, are you trying to take advantage of by being a Nevada resident?

State Income tax. No kids in local schools, empty nesters. Best I've found is a apartment in Henderson, NV for $320/month.
