Professionally licensed in two states. Comply with licensing requirements and pay professional dues in each state.

Share place of residence in two states - neither of which have utilities in my name.

Have bank account in two states. Use checks with different addresses in different states printed on them.

Have safe deposit boxes in two states.

Receive mail in two states.

Spend enough time in each state to be a legal resident.

A sometime self-employed professional (clients in both states). No pay stub. Too young for Social Security. No pension. Just another long-term unemployed person being left behind.

File tax returns in two states.

Registered to vote in two states - though I vote in only one state (and always the same one).

I only have one driver's license - I have had it for many, many years. This is what I consider my place of residence.

Car is tagged in a different state from the state that issues my drivers license and the car tag is registered to the out of state address shown on my driver's license (required by state law in order to collect taxes from those of us who do not commute daily). The car is titled in one state with the registration address for the car tag in another state. It is required to be insured in the state in which it is tagged. I have no intention of residing permantently in the state where my car is tagged. Someday I hope to moon the city limit sign on my final trip out of town (hey, I can dream can't I?).

So where exactly do I live? And how do I prove it?

This kind of thing really isn't uncommon among the senior citizen snowbirds.
