That\u2019s a question you answer with the help of your attorney. Not your accountant. And not some blogger.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re curious about establishing residency in or changing your domicile to some new state? Maybe you want to avoid the Washington state capital gains tax? Or maybe you want your heirs to avoid the new higher Washington state estate taxes? (<a href=\"https:\/\/evergreensmallbusiness.com\/planning-for-the-35-washington-state-estate-tax\/\">Click here to learn about the new higher tax<\/a>.) Washington provides a useful form for thinking about these issues: Form 85-0045, the Affidavit Substantiating Decedent&#8217;s State of Domicile at Death.<\/p>\n<h2>The General Washington Residency Rule to Start<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the general residency rule, though, which comes from the Revised Code of Washington (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/RCW\/default.aspx?cite=83.100.020\">RCW 83.100.020<\/a>), the Washington Administrative Code (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/WAC\/default.aspx?cite=458-57-105\">WAC 458-57-105<\/a>), and ironically from the Department of Revenues FAQ (click <a href=\"https:\/\/dor.wa.gov\/taxes-rates\/other-taxes\/estate-tax\/estate-tax-faq\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><em>Residents<\/em> potentially owe estate and capital gains tax returns. And residents are people <em>domiciled<\/em> in Washington state.<\/p>\n<p>So what is a person\u2019s domicile? Quoting ChatGPT, \u201c\u2019Domicile\u2019 means a person&#8217;s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place the person intends to return to whenever absent. A person can have only one domicile at a time\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The state applies a facts and circumstances test and <em>basically<\/em> looks at all the common-sense stuff you would look at if your job was determining people\u2019s domiciles. But you and I get a concrete sense of what matters from that Form 85-0045.<\/p>\n<p>The actual form appears here: <a href=\"https:\/\/dor.wa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-02\/85-0045.pdf\">Affidavit Substantiating Decedent\u2019s State of Domicile at Death.<\/a> And for background, a personal representative, or executor, might fill out and provide this form to the state\u2019s Department of Revenue if he or she needs help determining domicile.<\/p>\n<p>But the other useful thing? The form helps you think concretely the mechanics of possibly changing your domicile.<\/p>\n<h2>Reviewing Form 85-0045<\/h2>\n<p>A first tip to start: Go ahead and grab the form and fill it out the way you&#8217;d want to be able to fill it out if you were arguing you&#8217;re not a Washington resident. Because you do <em>not<\/em> want to be subject to the state&#8217;s capital gains tax, say. Or because you do <em>not<\/em> want your estate or the estate of some family member to be subject to the state&#8217;s estate tax. Answering the form&#8217;s questions will help you understand the issues. (The form resembles a test where the questions signal the correct answers.)<\/p>\n<p>But let me point to the key bits if you\u2019re thinking about your own Washington state residency.<\/p>\n<h3>Primary Residence at Time of Death<\/h3>\n<p>The very first question of the affidavit asks for the decedent\u2019s current primary residence, the mailing address, the time living at this location, and then whether there was any known intent to continue or change this residency. So that\u2019s the big thing. And the significance: If you\u2019re going to argue your residence or domicile isn\u2019t in Washington state, you want or need to be able to point to a residence in some other different state. Makes sense, right?<\/p>\n<p>A couple of other questions at the top of the form explore this issue in more detail. The second question, for example, asks if the decedent was residing in a nursing home at the date of death and how long he or she had been in the nursing home. The third question asks if the decedent owned a home and whether that home was or is rented or leased or available for rental or lease. (Obviously, you can\u2019t argue you plan to return to your house in Las Vegas if you\u2019re renting or leasing it to someone else.)<\/p>\n<h3>Washington State Real and Personal Property<\/h3>\n<p>Next point: A number of the Affidavit\u2019s questions (specifically, questions 3, 4, 6, 8 and 13) ask about whether the decedent owned property in Washington state. Real property (like a home), personal property including cars, business interests and so on. The affidavit also asks about safe deposit boxes in Washington state. Those of course might store some of the most valuable personal property a person owns like jewelry and gold. (The form doesn&#8217;t ask if you&#8217;ve rented storage units or lockers in Washington state. But those should probably be considered in the same manner as safe deposit boxes.)<\/p>\n<p>Pretty obviously if you want to strongly claim another state for your residency or domicile, property located in Washington state matters. A lot.<\/p>\n<p>Also this comment and reminder: If you have any real property located in or personal property stored in Washington state, your estate needs to file a Washington state estate tax return if the estate crosses the filing threshold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> A decedent domiciled in Nevada dies during the last half of 2025 when the filing threshold equals $3,000,000. The total estate includes only two items: A $3,000,000 IRA and then also a small undeveloped parcel located in Kitsap County worth $100,000. The Nevadan\u2019s estate needs to file a Washington state estate tax return because the gross estate value exceeds $3,000,000. Note that the estate will pay only a tiny amount of tax. (About $300 in this situation.)<\/p>\n<h3>Washington State Activity Within Prior Five Years<\/h3>\n<p>The affidavit also asks questions about any in-state business or personal activities within the last five years. The fifth question for example asks whether the decedent was employed in Washington state any time in the prior five years. The sixth question asks if the decedent owned or operated a business in Washington state during the prior five years. The twelfth question asks about memberships in Washington state community or religious organizations, clubs or societies in the last five years. The fourteenth question asks for a complete list of trips (including location visited, travel dates, and reasons for travel) during the prior five years.<\/p>\n<p>You can see what the Department of Revenue is trying to glean here: How connected are you to Washington state? Close, tight connections weaken an argument that you\u2019re domiciled in some other state. And the lookback period? The prior five years.<\/p>\n<h3>Official Government Documentation Connected to Location<\/h3>\n<p>A final observation about the affidavit\u2014which works as a good reminder too. The affidavit asks a number of questions that can be easily verified by looking at a government document. For example, the seventh question asks which IRS service center the decedent used to file tax returns. And for the address shown on the federal tax return.<\/p>\n<p>The ninth question asks where the decedent was or is registered to vote.<\/p>\n<p>The tenth question asks if the decedent held a driver\u2019s license and if so from which state.<\/p>\n<p>The eleventh question asks whether the decedent held any licenses or permits at the time of death. These might be recreational permits (fishing or hunting licenses) or professional licenses (like a CPA license or state bar membership).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the fifteenth question asks if the decedent declared a state of residence near the time of death. If so, it asks to whom the declaration was made and when.<\/p>\n<p>The obvious observations here: All the federal and state government documents you file should match the story of your residency. The tax returns you file, for example, should logically match the residency or domicile you&#8217;re claiming. And if you\u2019re domiciled in, say, Texas, the majority or maybe even all your licenses and permits should match that state.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up Comments<\/h2>\n<p>Form 85-0045 seems insightful to me if you\u2019re starting to think about residency and domicile and maybe moving to some new state. You get a good picture of the changes to make if you did decide to move.<\/p>\n<p>And just to summarize all this,\u00a0you ideally want to avoid having any property in Washington state\u2014at least if you\u2019re worried about filing an estate tax return. That property\u2014even if only miniscule\u2014triggers a requirement to file an estate tax return if you\u2019re over the reporting threshold. Reporting obviously puts you on the Department of Revenue radar screen whether you deserve to be or not.<\/p>\n<p>You need a home someplace else. And with that, a mailing address along with things like a drivers\u2019 license, voter registration, and then state and local licenses and permits as appropriate for a resident. Ideally, your profile would resemble a local Floridian, Texan or Nevadan if you decide to reside in Florida, Texas or Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>Do make strong connections to your new location. And then limit or intentionally weaken connections your former state of residence.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, think about how much time you spend you spend in Washington state. Less is better. You may even want to document how little time and how inconsequential the in-state activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, first point, if you want to change your residency or domicile from Washington state to some other state?
