justnzane Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Ok, I am stuck here in Atlanta until my contract expires with my employer in June. I am moving back home to Depew at that point. I will have been in Georgia for 11 months. The question is: "Am I still a resident of NY?" This is for my financial aid decisions for grad work. It could be what pushes me from going to Buff State to going to Canisius. and this is not as simple as sue's homework thread, I have been googling around for a straight answer but can't find one.

KD in CA Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Unfortunately, you are now officially a redneck. Yup...gotta vote GOP now justnzane! Seriously, I don't know how carefully they check these things, but if you've been there 11 months in June, than it sounds like you were a NYS resident for 7 months last year and six months this year. So if you file a NYS tax return as a part time resident for both years I would think you are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a GA license (with a GA address listed ) and pay GA income taxes, I doubt you can claim NY residency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I lived in NY the majority of the year last year, I obviously would have to pay them corrupt bastards up there. So far, I like KD's response, but I really want to know. Worst comes to worst, I can call up Muff State monday and find out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just change your residence ASAP and tell them you are an NYS resident when it comes time to pay tuition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just change your residence ASAP and tell them you are an NYS resident when it comes time to pay tuition. I knew a guy in college that did that. He lived in PA, and had a post office box in town where the college was listed as his 'residence'. Of course that was 20 years ago, so rules/laws may have changed.

Just change your residence ASAP and tell them you are an NYS resident when it comes time to pay tuition. They check up on that stuff, and you have to prove that you have lived in state for the previous 12 months to establish residency in-state. I will call monday, tried today, but no one home.

Fezmid Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Serious answer: When I moved to Minnesota, I had to live here for 12 months without going to school to be considered a resident. Not sure if other states are different, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if other states are different, that is what SUNY does as well. So by that definition, I am not a resident of Georgia. I am just making sure I am not getting loophole screwed.

And give you the right to sue businesses and schools to force them to speak your native langauge. I knew a guy in college that did that. He lived in PA, and had a post office box in town where the college was listed as his 'residence'. Of course that was 20 years ago, so rules/laws may have changed. These days I think you need to be on the tax rolls. A friend of mine bought a postage stamp lot in TX to claim residency so he could avoid state income taxes while overseas.
