Tax law. NY citizens are avoiding taxes and often transfer through ATL. They can live in FL for more than ~180 days and they don't pay state income tax. We call them "snow birds".
"you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for substantially all of the taxable year and spend 184 days or more in New York State during the taxable year, whether or not you are domiciled in New York State for any portion of the taxable year. Note: Any part of a day is a day for this purpose."

- lotsofpulp 6y agoWhy would this be specifically reflected in Jan travel, as opposed to other reasons, e.g. traveling to enjoy warmer weather? Or a non lockdown state in the current situation?

- bobthepanda 6y agoSnowbirds are known to spend the winter there. Summer is not a great time to be in Florida during hurricane season with fairly heavy rains.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoWhy would they wait until January? Cold weather starts in Nov at the latest.
- bobthepanda 6y agoHoliday travel? This page doesn't have previous months on it. Or I haven't found it with ten seconds of looking.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoOh I see, they might come back to NY for holidays.
- midasuni 6y agoGoing to Florida for a month over the holidays won’t help with the 184 day requirement
- bobthepanda 6y agoAs in, snowbirds go south for the winter, return for the holiday period, and fly back down.
- cltby 6y agoTo the extent you're suggesting you can easily live outside of NY but collect tax-free NY income, it's not really true. Any NY source income remains taxable by the state. In practice, this covers remote work too, despite the safe harbor provisions of TSB-M-06(5)I. [1] https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/income/m06_5i.pdf https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/income/m06_5i.pdf
