# Your Tax Base
> Your Tax Base is a Florida domicile service for US expats and Americans abroad: a real Florida residential street address, Declaration of Domicile support, and worldwide mail scanning and forwarding. A genuine move of domicile to Florida ends the former state's resident-based claim on income; a state's 183-day statutory-residency test and taxes on income sourced there are separate rules. Florida's state income tax rate is 0%. Also serves digital nomads, remote workers, retirees, and RVers. Plans from $55/mo billed annually.

## Guides (Blog)
- [Notarizing US Documents From Abroad: Why Identity Verification Fails and What to Do Instead](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/notarize-us-documents-from-abroad): Remote online notarization is supposed to let Americans overseas sign US documents from anywhere. For long-term expats it often stops before it starts, because the identity check cannot generate questions about someone with no recent US data footprint. Florida law addresses this failure directly: if the databases do not hold enough information to authenticate you, the notary may not proceed. This guide explains the statutory requirements, why the wall exists, and the routes that still work.
- [California's Two New Taxes for 2027: What SB 122 and SB 125 Actually Cost You (and the One Tax Cut Sacramento Can't Block)](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/california-new-taxes-2027-leaving-california): On June 29, 2026, Governor Newsom signed a budget that creates two new taxes effective January 1, 2027: a sales tax on software and SaaS (SB 122) and a redesigned health plan tax (SB 125) that is expected to flow into private premiums. This guide breaks down exactly what each tax covers, what is exempt, what a real household will pay, and why the sourcing rule in SB 122 makes your address the deciding factor. It also covers what it actually takes to move your domicile to a state that taxes neither your software nor your income.
- [How to Open a US Bank Account From Abroad in 2026](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/how-to-open-a-us-bank-account-abroad): Living overseas but need US banking that actually stays open? This 2026 pillar guide breaks down the CIP street-address rule (31 CFR 1020.220), the ITIN route for expats without an SSN, the five real ways to get a US bank account for expats, and why a genuine Florida residential domicile beats a PO box or mail-forwarding address. Includes FATCA, FBAR, and the new IRS paperless-refund deadline.
- [Global Expat & Migration Statistics 2026: Latest Data from the UN, World Bank, ILO & UNHCR](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/expat-migration-statistics): How many people live outside their country of birth, where they move, why they go, and what they contribute — the 2026 data reference, compiled from the latest UN DESA, IOM, ILO, UNHCR, UNESCO, World Bank, OECD and InterNations releases. Every figure is tied to a primary source and dated, with downloadable tables.
- [How to Change U.S. State Residency While Living Abroad](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/change-state-residency-living-abroad): Moving overseas does not end your state taxes. This 2026 playbook shows exactly how to change your U.S. state residency while living abroad: how to abandon your old domicile, establish a zero-tax state like Florida, handle the DMV and Declaration of Domicile remotely, sidestep the absentee-voting residency trap, and keep the documentation that defends you if California or New York audits you years later.
- [Florida Domicile for Expats in 2026: How to Lock In 0% State Tax Before You Leave the US](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/florida-domicile-expats-2026-lock-in-0-state-tax): For Americans heading abroad in 2026, the most expensive tax mistake is leaving directly from a high-tax state. Florida domicile, executed properly before you board the plane, locks in 0% state income tax, qualifies you for the federal Foreign Earned Income Exclusion at full strength, and cuts off audit risk from California, New York, and New Jersey. This is the 2026 expat playbook: a 7 to 14 day Florida residency sprint, the residential virtual address vs CMRA distinction, the calculator that shows your real savings, and a live customer case study.
- [The Florida "Six Months and a Day" Residency Myth: What Actually Establishes Domicile in 2026](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/florida-residency-requirements-2026-complete-guide): The most common question about Florida residency is also the most misunderstood: do you have to live in Florida six months and a day? No. Florida has no minimum day-count rule and no waiting period. The legal standard is intent plus substantive ties, codified across four primary statutes: §322.031 (driver license within 30 days), §97.041 (voter registration), §222.17 (Declaration of Domicile), and the residential-address requirements that USPS Form 1583 and state DMV procedures impose. This guide debunks the six-month myth, then walks through the four pillars, the 14-day residency sprint, the line-by-line affidavit of domicile language, the seven mistakes that trigger California FTB and New York DTF deficiency notices, and a customer case study with savings math at $100,000, $150,000, and $200,000 of income across nine high-tax states.
- [2026 Expat State Tax Traps: Lessons from the Latest NY & CA Cases (and How Florida Domicile Protects You)](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/2026-expat-state-tax-traps-ny-ca-cases): New York's late-2025 Hoff decision (DTA No. 850209) and California's updated FTB Pub 1031 guidelines for 2025/2026 prove that formal domicile paperwork alone will not stop a sticky state from following you abroad. This guide breaks down both rulings, the data-driven enforcement trends targeting Americans overseas, and how a substantive Florida domicile through Your Tax Base gives you the strongest defense in 2026.
- [Crypto Capital Gains Tax by State: Where to Sell in 2026 (and Where NOT To)](https://yourtaxbase.com/blog/crypto-capital-gains-tax-by-state-2026): As of 2026, centralized exchanges report your crypto gains directly to the IRS on Form 1099-DA. Federal tax is unavoidable. But state tax on those same gains still ranges from 0% to 13.3%, depending on where you live when you sell. On a $500,000 gain, that is the difference between $0 and $66,500 in state tax.
