What's the Difference between Residency and Domicile? Residency is where one chooses to live. Domicile is more permanent and is essentially somebody's home base. Once you move into a home and take steps to establish your domicile in one state, that state becomes your tax home.

Domicile refers to someone's true, principal, and permanent home. In other words, the place where a person has physically lived, regards as home, and intends to return even if currently residing elsewhere. Determining where a party is domiciled is of particular importance in the field of civil procedure.

Normally tangible proof of residency is provided through: Appearance of a person's name on a city or town street list. Automobile registration. Driver's license. Rent / mortgage receipt. Utility or telephone bills. Voter registration.

Tax wise, you would be considered a resident if you spend more than half the year living in a certain state or have established your domicile there. You may also establish residency by owning a business or being gainfully employed in a state even if you do not live there all year.
