I got two of these emails just a couple of days ago. One had the exact wording, but it wasn’t from Doris.

Edit, escapees focus is on ss and retirement fund taxation, and NY is the state I reference when referring to a one millisecond nexus.

For a good insight, refer to escapees rv org docs. It is a huge issue for mobile rv folks, full and part time. Their focus is on taxation, vehicle fees, and medical insurance, but it leads to good knowledge which helps with taxation issues. For us, more than anything, we want to keep the hmo (then their advantage plan) we have had for life, so we need to meet their eligibility requirements. Hopefully the person referenced in the op has checked into their medical coverage! one thing for sure, when we travel, I make darn sure not to trigger nexus in another state. Some allow 30 days, some, like by, are simply do not work at all, not even an email, within their border. I’m not just personal liability, but same inattentiveness could trigger company liability (even in a no withholding tax state).

For IRS purposes, his tax home is TX because that's where he spends his time. A quick glance at WI law says if you are domiciled in WI, you are a resident no matter where your tax home is. Since he intends to return to WI, that's his domicile. Even if he decides he'll stay in TX, he'll still owe tax on the rental income in WI (as a nonresident).

Did you ever hear of "The Nigerian Spam Scam Scam" by Dean Cameron? My husband & I saw a performance of it (based on a true series of interchanges) in Scotland in 2004. My husband nearly fell out of his seat, from laughing so hard. It was wonderful. Here's a link to a YT teaser/promo video of it. Dean Cameron's Nigerian Spam Scam Scam I thought at one point DC had written it all out, but now I can't find it.

Sounds like a Wisconsin resident to me.
