I mean we would all be claiming TX or NV residency if we could get away with it, but it's illegal!

I don't think I can pull off avoiding CA taxes if based there because I have a home there. It's just not kosher. Even a little condo in a tax haven state wouldn't be enough. Like another poster stated, they will look at a lot of things. Where do you go to Church, where do you bank? Where do your kids go to school? In my case I don't have a tribe of midgets to give me away, but their are a lot of other things.
Hell, your gym membership might be what causes you to be found guilty. I can just see myself sitting on the stand getting grilled.
Yet if I legitimately commuted from NV or TX etc... the tables would be turned. I could show documented proof that I was commuting. Their is a paper trail.
Being a commuter has never worked for me. My character is very strict, and if I could not secure a non rev flight by the time I'd have to leave in order to make it driving, then I'd be driving. That whole calling in thing just doesn't sit well with me, it's my responsibility to be at work on time if their is any way I can be. Commuting just leaves one spending half the day at the airport, then having to be fit to fly a full day. I question whether that is even possible, even though thousands do it every day.

Cal resident, no kids, 26 yr Capt, Fed tax reduced by 4k next year. State reduced by 2k.
You can't take one snapshot and assume it means a thing.
