Working in a state with no state income tax while living in a state with a state income tax?
Q. I live in Minnesota and I am going to be going to work for a cruise line in Florida soon, for the next 6 months onboard a cruise ship. Florida does not have a state income tax, Minnesota does. Do I have to pay income tax on money earned in Florida to Minnesota? Or do I just pay what is earned in Minnesota to Minnesota? Thank you for your responses.

A. If you intend to return to Minnesota after your absence, then Minnesota considers your out of state income to be taxable to Minnesota. You would file a resident return and declare all income as Minnesota income. If you move out of Minnesota with the intention of not returning to Minnesota, then you would file a part-year resident return. Only the income attached to Minnesota (not the cruise ship income) would be taxable to Minnesota.

Since state laws and penalties can vary a significantly, do you think justice is really being served?
Q. For instance, possession of less than an once of Marijuana in one state is a minor (I didn't use the term class and number because that also varies from state to state) misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $50.00; across the border; the same crime is punishable by up to five years in the state penitentiary ( and sentences of that length are common). Is there a Constitutional issue? Or should the states be able to impose any penalty they choose?

A. Hey Morgan R, I'm still new @ this, & have tried to get in touch. I'll keep trying. Since I live in Canada, I know in the U.S. that the laws vary State to State. That question is a yes & no for me. If one State has a higher crime rate in Drugs, it would make more sense for their Laws to be tougher for the users/buyers compared to a State that has a higher crime rate in Prostituition. Also it wouldn't seem fair if one State only gave X amount of time/fine, & another State gave twice as much for the same instance. But on the other hand it sure would make things a heck of alot easier if ALL Laws were the same everywhere because at least you'd know what the consequence was. But I don't think that States should be able to impose any penalty. [cont.]
