Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n

Dorsey lawyer\u2019s Strib editorial on residency requirements<\/a> for income tax purposes doesn\u2019t make much sense. Not surprising, as it\u2019s plainly self-interested on three fronts \u2013 keeping in good with the Tax Court and with Democrat politicians, as well as keeping her wealthy clients after they move out-of-state.<\/p>\n

First, she says the law on residency hasn\u2019t changed and it\u2019s not a problem. Then she says two recent notable cases weren\u2019t a big deal and the losers should have lost. But then she says she supports the proposed change in legislation because people who move out of state shouldn\u2019t have to switch lawyers to prove a change in residence.<\/p>\n

Hey, either the law was fine before, or the critics were right and the tax court has turned this state into the Hotel Minnesota: once you live here you can never leave, you\u2019re always a \u201cresident\u201d for income tax purposes. <\/p>\n

I agree with the critics: the present law is overly broad, inconsistently applied and antiquated. The only reason we still have it is Democrats want to tax rich people wherever they live, however slight their connection to this state <\/a>and the present law is a fig leaf to justify it.<\/p>\n
