Norway and....Maryland. I've lived abroad most of my career and unwisely lived in Maryland for a short time. When I left to go abroad again, Maryland insisted on taxing my earnings, despite the overseas domicile. I found trying to fight Maryland over taxes was exasperating and futile.
protip: if you live in Maryland, and plan an overseas life, establish a domicile in a tax friendly state beforehand. Then leave. Otherwise, Maryland will own you. A pox on Maryland.
- BayAreaEscapee 5y agoThat's also true for California. I established tax domicile in Nevada before expatriating.

It's common for American states to continue to tax their citizens after they leave. And there aren't really any downsides to not being a resident of any state.
