Your Tax Base

Can Americans living abroad use Your Tax Base?

Yes. Americans living, working, and earning abroad are the core audience for Your Tax Base. Florida domicile gives you a real US residential street address for banking, brokerage, and IRS correspondence, and it ends your prior high-tax state's claim to tax your income. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion is a federal exclusion only; state tax follows domicile, not the FEIE.

Why does my old state still tax me after I move abroad?

Leaving the United States does not automatically sever your state domicile. California, New York, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Virginia continue to treat you as a resident, and continue to bill you for state income tax, until you formally cut domicile and establish it elsewhere. Florida has 0% state income tax and no statutory residency claw-back, which is why expats use it to end the bill from their prior state.

Do I need to live in Florida to claim Florida domicile?

No. There is no minimum number of days you must spend in Florida. What matters is documented intent and economic ties: a Florida residential address, a Florida driver's license, Florida voter registration, and a documented Declaration of Domicile. You can travel full-time, live abroad, or work remotely from anywhere while maintaining Florida domicile.

How much does Your Tax Base cost?

Your Tax Base offers three plans: Essential Domicile starting at $55/month, Tax Guardian starting at $90/month, and Premium (contact us for pricing). All plans include a real Florida residential address and mail handling.

Will my US bank or brokerage accept the Florida address?

Yes. Your Tax Base provides a real residential street address in Florida (not a PO Box or commercial mail receiving agency), which is accepted by Chase, Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, payroll providers, and other US institutions that can restrict accounts with foreign addresses.

Does the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) cover state tax?

No. The FEIE is a federal exclusion that reduces your federal tax obligation on foreign-earned income up to an annual limit. It does not change how states tax you. If your prior state still considers you a resident, that state continues to tax your worldwide income regardless of the FEIE. Florida domicile is what stops state tax from following you abroad.

How long does it take to establish Florida domicile?

Most clients complete the active work in under an hour and finalize Florida domicile within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on document availability and DMV scheduling. We handle Declaration of Domicile filing, driver's license preparation, voter registration guidance, and address updates across your accounts.

Is establishing Florida domicile legal?

Yes. Florida law recognizes domicile based on intent and documented economic ties, with no minimum day requirement. Establishing Florida domicile is a long-standing, lawful practice used by Americans abroad, remote workers, retirees, travel nurses, and RVers every year. Outcomes depend on your prior state's domicile rules; residents of California, New York, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Virginia face heightened claw-back risk and should consult a licensed tax professional.
