New York is known for aggressively auditing nonresident tax returns in order to prove residency, according to partner Craig B. Fields in the Institutional Investor article “<a target="_blank" href="https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b18ml4mx51k3kx/you-make-1-billion-you-flee-to-florida-then-the-tax-man-knocks">Financiers are gravitating to low-tax locales. Now authorities are fighting back</a>.”“New York state often will not hesitate to challenge a tax return reporting a high-net-worth individual’s change of domicile where certain factors are present — for example, where the individual continues to maintain a residence in New York or continues to spend a significant amount of time in New York,” he said.Mr. Fields successfully argued in 2017 that former Colgate-Palmolive CFO Stephen Patrick was no longer a New York tax resident despite spending more than half of the year there.
