  • You did maintain a "permanent" home outside of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ; and
  • You did not spend more than 30 days in ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.

Also, you are a nonresident if:

  • ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ was not your domicile, and you spent 183 days or less here; or
  • ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ was not your domicile, and you spent more than 183 days here, but you did not maintain a "permanent" home here.

In some cases, a nonresident may be required to file both part-year resident and nonresident returns. If you were a resident of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ for part of the tax year, earned income here, and also received income from a ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ source while a nonresident of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, you must file both part-year resident and part-year nonresident returns if your income for the entire year was more than the filing threshold amount for your filing status.

Special rules apply to members of the Armed Forces and their spouses/civil union partners. See Military Personnel for information.
