Overview
New Hampshire residency requirements
Domicile test for New Hampshire taxation
New Hampshire tax residency is primarily determined through the concept of domicile, not a specific day count. Your domicile is your true, fixed, and permanent home. Factors considered include where you spend most time, family location, voter registration, and driver's license. While New Hampshire income tax is limited, understanding residency is crucial for other tax obligations. The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration considers these factors holistically when assessing your tax residency status.
New Hampshire income tax: What you need to know
New Hampshire taxation is unique among U.S. states. There's no general New Hampshire state income tax on wages or salaries. However, the state does impose a New Hampshire interest and dividends tax at a 5% rate. This New Hampshire dividend tax applies to residents based on their domicile status. It's a crucial aspect of New Hampshire income tax to understand. Non-residents are generally not subject to this tax, even for New Hampshire-sourced income. This distinctive approach to income taxation sets New Hampshire apart in terms of state tax policies.
Part-year residency and New Hampshire tax implications
While New Hampshire doesn't have specific part-year residency rules for general income tax (as there isn't one), part-year residency can affect your New Hampshire interest and dividends tax obligations. If you establish or abandon your New Hampshire domicile during the tax year, you may owe this tax only for the portion of the year you were a resident. Accurate record-keeping of your residency status changes is essential for proper New Hampshire taxation compliance.
Business taxes and non-resident considerations
Although personal income isn't broadly taxed, New Hampshire taxation includes a Business Profits Tax (BPT) and a Business Enterprise Tax (BET). Non-residents may face these taxes for New Hampshire business activities. Additionally, non-residents owning or renting property in New Hampshire may owe property taxes. While day counting isn't directly tied to New Hampshire income tax residency, tracking your time in the state is crucial for determining business tax obligations and maintaining records for other tax jurisdictions.
