Re: Tax information for travelers
From what I have heard:
As far as the fed gov is concerned, you can stay in one area for 365 days and still have it be considered a temp position. Calif may consider you a resident after 6 mths though and require you to be taxed by the state as a resident.
If you stay past the 365 days, it will majorly effect you tax wise, especially if you are paid on the tax advantage system. You will also lose the ability to claim alot of deductions. Housing costs paid by your employer will be taxed as income.
Most people recommend staying away from an area for at least a year after you have worked there for a year.
You have to be able to prove residency and attachment to your tax home, but supposedly, you don't have to work there ever.
Hope it's not too confusing.
