I lived in Washington state in 2019, but I am not a resident of Washington, I am a resident of Ohio. Where should I say I live?

It depends on your situation. Below are the Ohio residency rules; they will help you determine residency for tax purposes:

Resident

An individual is a resident if domiciled in Ohio for the entire year.

Part-year resident

An individual is a part-year resident if he or she permanently moved into or out of Ohio during 2019.

Nonresident

A nonresident is an individual who was domiciled outside of Ohio for the entire year. An individual will be presumed not to be domiciled in Ohio if an accurate statement of Ohio nonresidency, Form IT NRS, is filed by October 15 of the following year, and attests that he or she:

• Had no more than 212 contact periods with Ohio during the taxable year,

• Had an abode outside of Ohio for the entire taxable year, on which depreciation deduction was not claimed,

• Did not hold an Ohio driver’s license or identification card at any time during the taxable year,

• Did not claim the homestead exemption and/or the owner occupancy property tax reduction for an Ohio property during the taxable year, and

• Did not claim to be an Ohio resident for the purpose of obtaining “in state” tuition at an Ohio institution of higher education.

Hello,

I suppose whether or not we should do this is its own, probably not tax-related, question, but even if we both paid OH income tax on all of our joint income, we'd still come out ahead keeping our vehicle registered & insured in OH (for just 6 months of worse insurance, we'd already more than offset the difference even if both were fully taxed).

My husband's job is not great, so I don't know if we'll stay in WA, as it is a HCOL area. I am a nurse. We initially ended up here when I took a travel assignment in a different city. I no longer do travel nursing. I just have "normal" nurse jobs. I have licenses in both states, in addition to a compact license. I also have a remote, seasonal, non-nursing job I can do as an OH resident. We have a house in Ohio that we rent out rooms in, and we sometimes reside in a section of the house.

We had a year lease on an apartment in WA, but it's now month to month (for the same price... we can just get out of it easier). We have a cheap house in OH with a great rate. It would require a lot of effort to buy here.
