In general, your domicile is the place you intend to have as your permanent home. In general, a permanent place of abode is a residence (a building or structure where a person can live) that you permanently maintain, whether you own it or not, that is suitable for year-round use. A permanent place of abode usually includes a residence your spouse owns or leases. For additional information, visit our website.

Nonresident and part-year resident

You are a nonresident if you do not meet the above definition of a resident. You are a part-year resident if you meet the definition of resident or nonresident for only part of the year.
