Florida Domicile-Why & How

If you are thinking of becoming a Florida resident or have already made the wise choice to make Florida your domicile – congratulations!  If you are still in the decision-making process, let’s consider the host of advantages of becoming a Florida resident and making Florida your “domicile state.”

In addition to our wonderful weather and lifestyle, there are financial rewards as well. Residents of all states are subject to Federal Income Tax, but Florida residents enjoy no state income tax, estate tax, inheritance tax or intangible tax. This usually means tax savings on IRA withdrawals, pension, annuity, and employment income. However, if you own assets or derive income in or from another state, you may still be subject to income and estate tax in that state.

For example, a Wisconsin resident making over $280,950 pays a state income tax of 7.65% over and above the Federal income tax. The Florida resident savings in this case is more than $20,000. IRA withdrawals are considered income too.

Florida residents also enjoy property tax savings and Florida homestead creditor protection. Making your Florida home your homestead with the property tax assessor can lead to a $50,000 reduction in the taxable assessed value of your home. In addition, the Save Our Homes Property Assessment Cap limits the increase in your home’s assessed value to no more than 3% annually – regardless of that year’s actual appreciation. There are even portability provisions if you sell your home and acquire a new one.
