Income taxes on remote work may get a supreme court review

The case Kirk mentioned had to do with a benefit the wife would lose if declared married. It's kind of like planning to return to a domicile, you might change your mind about domicile and get away with it but you might not. The couple mentioned decide not to risk it.

Not only does this not matter, you miss the entire point. The point that I was making is that people need to look farther than to consider vehicle registration, insurance, and similar expenses. There can be important legal issues and those will often be very different from one person to another. The choice of domicile for a fulltimer could become critical at some time in the future.

Really? You seem to know someone that I don't.

Same couple. Something he said one time gave me that impression.

That's odd.  You pointed out that ToddF gave wrong information about Texas sales tax on food, but when you give wrong information about the law concerning common-law marriage in Texas, it doesn't matter. 

Or, I guess strictly speaking it doesn't matter where your friend got his information, but I thought it was a polite way to point out that your statement about common-law marriage had not even a whiff of truth to it, and to then state what the law actually is.

And yes, I did get your point, which I agree is a valid one.  But maybe it would be better to just to say that, and leave the false buttressing out.  Or if you feel you need to give a reason, find one that's true.
