About the Event

Our speakers will provide information about compliance with state residency rules, which many have learned about the hard way. With good intentions, they did all the things they thought they needed to do in order to take up residency outside of their old state: they filed affidavits of domicile in the new state, registered their automobiles, obtained new driver’s licenses, and registered to vote.

Unfortunately, most people aren’t aware that a residency determination is based on more than mere declarations or physical presence in the state. In a residency case, the burden of proof is on the taxpayer. Even after you’ve moved out of one state, if you maintain living quarters in that state and visit from time to time, you may still be considered a resident of that state for tax purposes.

Do you have significant non-Florida contacts? If you do, you may be a prime target for an audit, and you may benefit from this seminar.

This seminar will provide you with information that may help you protect your assets and avoid pitfalls when moving out of a state or maintaining dual residences:

• New Residency and Nonresident Allocation issues
• Proactive Preparation for Nonresident Audits
• Multigenerational Planning
• Florida: What’s Different?
• Current Planning Techniques
• What Is Statutory Residence and Why Should You Care?
• Protecting Your Assets and Reducing Tax on Transfers to Your Family
• Other Hot Topics
  
  

This seminar will also provide information on residency law for:

• Individuals With Dual Residences
• Non-Florida Residents
• In-House Tax Counsel
• Accountants
• Tax Managers
• Financial Planners
• Insurance Executives
• High-Net-Worth Individuals

All seminars are complimentary. Space is limited. Facilities are wheelchair accessible.
