No doubt the IRS tried to claim that he "earned it" (since it was deferred compensation) in the other state.... but since he didn't actually RECEIVE it until he moved to Florida -- he was correct. The IRS doesn't even understand it's own rules. Which is fine when you're arguing over $500 -- but not when your fighting over half a million or more. And since they're just "clerks" and it's not their money paying the attorney's - no common sense needs to be applied.

He did everything right but still ended up in court defending his freedom from state income which totaled approaching 6 figures in state tax.. He won... purchased and 32 foot Boston whaler outrage... Named it "Happy Returns" for the tax return he eventually got which was 100% of the money back...

The IRS doesn't administer state tax returns or the collection of state income taxes. I think you meant the applicable state taxing authority.

The IRS reference was just a "general name" for tax collectors.... Everyone reading this would understand the reference. Well..... maybe not everyone.

We - regrettably - sold all the marine toys (used that reference in case Mkelcy took umbrage at using the word yacht or boat) when the kids went off to college. When they came home from school - they wanted to spend time with their friends rather than go boating. We will buy another one in a few years, and have already started talking about what and where. We both love (and had hull #26 on order) the 55' Fleming.

Why would I or anyone else object to the use of an accurate term?

You may be a little thin skinned about what, in the overall scheme of things, was a small correction, made mostly for the purpose of letting folks know that the IRS doesn't make up or enforce the rules concerning in what state income is taxed.

"We" do have an airport here in Hailey that will take us to the boat.... wherever it may be.
