If you live in CA 8 months of the year and in Nevada 4 months of the year, are you a CA or NV resident for state income tax purposes? I read that you need to live in CA at least 9 months to be considered a CA resident. So if you just buy a vacation home in San Diego and live there for 8 months, for example, but keep a NV permanent home address also, aren't you living in the best of both worlds in that you take advantage of NV's zero state income tax regime while actually residing majority of the time in the superior climate and amenities of San Diego?

The state of CA taxes you if your paycheck comes from CA regardless of where you live, and you are taxed on all income from any source while living in CA, regardless of the time. In other words, if you lived there one week and won the lottery during that week you would pay tax on it. In both cases it is subject to the same minimum earned as a regular full-time state resident, based on the tax tables in effect for that year.

Total tax burden in CA 10.6%
Total tax burden in NV 7.5%

That means if you make $100,000 a year, the difference is $3,000, or three lattes a day, or a pack and a half of cigarettes a day.
