*CE Eligible: 2 CE credits are available to subscribers with these designations: CFP, CLU, ChFC and RICP. Special Note: This program is also approved for two CE Products and Practices credit hours for Investment Advisor Representatives.This program, which features tax attorney Joe Endres, will address applying residency tax rules to commuters, occasional visitors, and full-time residents of the various states. It will also identify the practices most states use to determine if a taxpayer has "truly" changed their residence. For example, changing your residence from a high-tax state (think NY, NJ & CA) to a low or no-tax state (think FL) can dramatically reduce the amount of state taxes you have to pay. But high-tax states don't let their residents go smoothly. If you continue to maintain any connection to the former residence (think snowbirds), the high-tax state may contest that you genuinely changed your residence. Note that Mr. Endres specializes in residency and local taxation matters and has represented numerous clients in cases related to this issue.In this webinar, Mr. Endres will teach you how states determine a taxpayer's residency and how to make the states respect your residency change.Learning Objectives:Determine statutory residence rules and how to count a "day"Identify concrete steps necessary to change your domicileRecognize common traps for the unwary practitioner*CE/CPE Eligible: 2.0 CE credit(s) is(are) available to FEN Members with these designations: CFP, IAR, CLU, ChFC and RICP.

What Clients Need to Know when Changing their Residency (Approved for 2 Prod and Pract IAR CE) - 07.21.2025

*CE Eligible: 2 CE credits are available to subscribers with these designations: CFP, CLU, ChFC and RICP. Special Note: This program is also approved for two CE Products and Practices credit hours for Investment Advisor Representatives.This program, which features tax attorney Joe Endres, will address applying residency tax rules to commuters, occasional visitors, and full-time residents of the various states. It will also identify the practices most states use to determine if a taxpayer has "truly" changed their residence. For example, changing your residence from a high-tax state (think NY, NJ & CA) to a low or no-tax state (think FL) can dramatically reduce the amount of state taxes you have to pay. But high-tax states don't let their residents go smoothly. If you continue to maintain any connection to the former residence (think snowbirds), the high-tax state may contest that you genuinely changed your residence. Note that Mr. Endres specializes in residency and local taxation matters and has represented numerous clients in cases related to this issue.In this webinar, Mr. Endres will teach you how states determine a taxpayer's residency and how to make the states respect your residency change.Learning Objectives:Determine statutory residence rules and how to count a "day"Identify concrete steps necessary to change your domicileRecognize common traps for the unwary practitioner*CE/CPE Eligible: 2.2 CE credit(s) is(are) available to FEN Members with these designations: CFP, IAR, CLU, ChFC and RICP.
