Here is why I say this: Many have formed Montana LLC's due to Montana's tax laws and registration fee schedule for their Motor home.
And a good number of them have heard the knock on the door and the words "State Treasury Agent" and been handed a bill for way way more than they would have paid if they had done it legally up front.

This is some very good advice!

Thanks TaxMan... I noticed the O/P says he has property in several states..
Still.. it is the one on the driver's license that counts. Also the one where you live, vote (You do vote right if not please do) and work.

He never stated he had property in several states just several pieces of property. It could all be in one state or several. You can have property in several states and still be domiciled in a different state. Which is why I stated that most RVers go with TX, SD or FL for a domicile.
You can also have your vehicles insured in different states, we have the bike and RV insured in MI and the car in CA. Same insurance company and they said it's not that uncommon to do.

Greg,
The reason we bring up full timing is that someone who fulltimes has the luxury of basically picking what state they want to call their resident state. With no stick and brick home that one state can claim to be their residence they have the option of picking one that best suits their needs. Hence the reason you see people mention SD, TX, and FL as good places for residency if one fulltimes. States love to do the "Aha, you live in X state because you have a home here! Now you owe all kinds of back taxes!" Fulltimers can avoid that situation.
Ed

Greg,
I lived in Ohio for 22 years, but I had 10 acres of retirement property in Texas. There was no question about it - Ohio was my domicile. I resided (owned a home) and worked there. I voted, had my vehicles registered and insured, was a member of a church, paid taxes, etc. in Ohio. From a taxation standpoint, it would have been advantageous to claim that I was a Texas resident (or that Texas was my domicile), but the fact that I owned property in Texas for which I paid property tax, in and of itself, did not offset the fact that I was a de facto resident of Ohio.

Well, there's tax avoidance (legal) and tax evasion (illegal). The Montana LLC or SD/TX domicile approaches can fall under tax avoidance for a full-timer while it would fall under tax evasion for someone like me in the case I cited. I'll leave it to the experts like wnytaxman to sort out which is which.

Rusty, they have a term for those that practice tax evasion. The term is 3 to 5 and you have a roommate named Bubba who thinks you're rally cute. Sometimes the line between tax evasion and tax avoidance gets blurred but evasion is the actual intent to defraud the government. Avoidance is using the law to reduce one's tax burden legally.

Yes we are but I'm probably getting too caught up in the technicalities! So much of the tax law is interpretation that it gets to be a full time job just trying to understand what someone meant. Every time they try to simplify it they make it worse.
