Have to love those that want to tax others to pay for their ownership expenses... what is their mantra.... Oh yes, "I only owe tax on my ability to pay it, if I own more than I can afford, then others have to pay my fair share" ....  |
I don't think that's quite how it works. I beleive as a non-resident if you work in Maine and have a spouse who works in NH, they base your state deduction on the proportion of Maine derived income from your total income.
Regardless, once the housing market stabilizes, I will sell and move back to NH.
