moved from Maine to Tennessee-no State income tax on pensions, 90% reduction in our property taxes, low vehicle registration fees-Sales Tax is 7%, Maine was 5%, but the other reductions in expenses was a huge difference.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter. As I noted in the “Telecommuters, too” section of this post http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/global/page/2/ the hubby and I living in no-income-tax Texas doesn’t matter to Georgia. My husband gets a paycheck from a Georgia company, so even though he never goes into an office in that state, his employer withholds Georgia taxes. Majorly maddening! But until he finds a Texas-based job, we’re stuck paying taxes to the Peach State. At least it’s just on his income, not my earnings.
