Frequently Asked Questions

Your Tax Base is perfect for anyone with a mobile or location-independent lifestyle: travel nurses and healthcare professionals, digital nomads, remote workers, expats living abroad, full-time RVers, military personnel, business owners with multiple locations, and anyone looking to establish domicile in a no-income-tax state. If you don't have a permanent residence in a high-tax state, we can help.

We currently specialize in Florida domicile services. Florida has no state income tax, no estate tax, and strong privacy protections. It's one of the most popular states for establishing legal domicile, whether you're a travel nurse, digital nomad, expat, or remote worker. Our addresses are in Florida, where we provide comprehensive domicile establishment and maintenance services.

No! That's the beauty of our service. You don't need to physically live in Florida to establish it as your legal domicile. You just need to demonstrate intent to make it your permanent home base through proper documentation, which we help you maintain. You can continue your mobile lifestyle, whether traveling for work, living abroad, or working remotely, while maintaining your Florida domicile.

No. There's no specific minimum number of days required to maintain your Florida domicile. What matters is demonstrating intent through proper documentation: maintaining your Florida address, having a Florida driver's license, registering to vote in Florida, and keeping important documents and accounts tied to your Florida address. We help you maintain all the necessary connections.

Yes, you can still establish a Florida domicile even if you own property elsewhere in the US. What matters is your intent and the documentation showing Florida as your primary legal residence. However, owning property in a high-tax state may complicate matters. We recommend consulting with a tax professional to understand the specific implications for your situation.

Yes, but with important considerations. If you're currently a California or New York resident and want to change your domicile to Florida, you need to properly sever ties with your former state. Both California and New York are aggressive about retaining residents for tax purposes. We can help you establish Florida domicile, but we strongly recommend consulting with a tax professional to ensure you meet all requirements for leaving high-tax states.

Absolutely! You don't need to leave the United States to benefit from Florida domicile. Many of our clients are domestic travelers, including travel nurses, RVers, consultants, or people who move frequently within the US. As long as you maintain your Florida address as your permanent residence and don't establish permanent residence in another state, you can enjoy state income tax savings while traveling throughout America.

No, there's no requirement to be outside the US for any specific duration. Establishing Florida domicile is about demonstrating it as your legal home base, not about how much time you spend abroad or traveling. Whether you travel internationally, domestically, or stay primarily in the US, what matters is maintaining proper documentation and ties to Florida.

Your mail is received at your Florida address. With our Essential Domicile plan, we forward essential mail items like IRS notices, state documents, professional licenses, and financial cards. Higher-tier plans include digital mail scanning, allowing you to view your mail online from anywhere in the world before deciding whether to forward, shred, or store it. We can forward mail to any location globally.

Your Tax Base provides a real, physical residential street address in Florida, not a PO Box or commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA). This is an actual residential address that appears as a standard home address on any form or system. Employers, payroll providers, and HR departments accept it because it is a legitimate residential address. You can use it on your W-4, direct deposit forms, benefits enrollment, and any other employment paperwork that requires a home address. Many of our travel nurse and remote worker clients use their Your Tax Base address as their employer address of record without any issues.

USPS Informed Delivery is tied to the physical address, so you can enroll in Informed Delivery using your Your Tax Base Florida address. This gives you daily email previews of incoming mail directly from USPS, in addition to the scanning and notifications we provide through our own dashboard. The two services work well together: Informed Delivery shows you grayscale images of incoming letter-sized mail from USPS, while our service provides full-color, high-resolution scans of opened mail so you can read the actual contents. You can set up Informed Delivery through the USPS website after you have your Florida address established.

We treat all legal documents, including traffic citations, court summons, and service of process, as high-priority items. When we receive any legal document at your address, we scan it immediately and send you an urgent email and dashboard notification so you are aware of it right away. We also forward the physical document to your current location via expedited shipping. It is important to respond to legal documents within the required timeframe regardless of where you are physically located, so we make sure nothing sits unopened. If you receive a Florida traffic ticket, you can typically pay it online or request a court date remotely.

Absolutely! Many of our clients are digital nomads and expats living abroad. Your Florida domicile allows you to maintain a US address for banking, business, and legal purposes while living anywhere in the world. We can forward mail internationally, and you can access tax benefits like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) and Foreign Housing Exclusion while maintaining your Florida domicile.

We forward all important legal documents, including jury summons, to you promptly wherever you are. Most Florida counties allow you to request postponement or exemption if you're temporarily out of state for work or travel. Our support team can guide you through the proper procedures to handle jury duty notifications while maintaining your mobile lifestyle.

The year you change your domicile to Florida is called a "transition year," and you will typically file a part-year resident return in your former state. This return covers January 1 through the date you established Florida domicile, and you report only the income earned during that period. From your domicile date forward, your income is no longer subject to your former state's income tax. Florida has no state income tax return to file at all. The exact form depends on your former state; for example, California uses Form 540NR, New York uses IT-203, and New Jersey uses NJ-1040. We recommend working with a tax professional for your transition year to ensure the income allocation is done correctly and your move date is documented consistently across all filings.

No. US passports do not contain a home address, so there is nothing to update with the State Department when you change your domicile. However, if your passport is expiring soon and you need to renew it, you can use your Florida address on the renewal application (Form DS-82), which creates another official government record tied to your Florida domicile. This is a helpful, though not required, piece of supporting documentation. Your passport itself will continue to work exactly the same regardless of which state you are domiciled in.

Florida concealed weapon licenses are issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. To apply, you must be a Florida resident, which means having established legal domicile in the state. Your Your Tax Base address qualifies as your Florida residential address for the application. You will also need to complete a firearms safety course, submit fingerprints, and pass a background check. The application can be submitted online or at a regional office, and processing typically takes 50 to 90 days. Florida's concealed carry license is recognized by 37 other states through reciprocity agreements, making it one of the most widely accepted permits in the country.

Yes! Our Tax Guardian plan includes Florida Registered Agent service for one LLC or corporation, business mail forwarding and scanning, and virtual office services. This is perfect for digital nomads, remote workers, and entrepreneurs who need a professional business address and registered agent in Florida.

Our pricing is transparent and straightforward. The monthly service fee covers most services. However, certain plans may include one-time fees for specific services, such as the $500 lease agreement fee in the Premium plan (by request, optional). Additionally, you'll be responsible for state-specific fees like vehicle registration and driver's license fees, which we help facilitate but are charged by the state.

Yes. Cancel anytime with no penalties or fees. Your mail forwarding service continues for 30 days after cancellation, giving you time to update your address with all important contacts.
