Can I move from California to Puerto Rico and stop paying federal income tax?
- hiphipjorge 10y agoAbsolutely.
- true_religion 10y agoWait? This is true in all cases? I thought the US government required you to pay income taxes after a certain income point even if you were in foreign countries. Why would Puerto Rico, which is part of the US itself, be an exception?
- vinay427 10y agoBecause foreign countries are not explicitly exempted, while PR is due to past agreements. Note that you have to live there for a good amount of the tax year to qualify, which is fairly typical.
