Hi All,
First time poster, long time lurker. I haven't been able to find a suitable answer online anywhere (including searching this forum) and I was hoping someone who's been in the same position could help me out.
I am currently stationed in Florida but will be PCSing to San Diego for my first fleet squadron tour. I am a Washington State resident. I wish to maintain my WA residency- however, I also wish to buy a house in San Diego. Does buying a house in California force me to become a California resident (and thus pay CA state taxes)? I would still have a WA driver's license, voters registration, vehicle titles and the intent to return to WA upon retirement.
Any help and/or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Pogo
