Depends on the last state you had connections with. Will you still have a state issued driver’s license & does your employer do something with any particular state for unemployment & insurance benefits. Usually health insurance is regulated through a state & not the fed. IMO & from my experiences running from the tax man when I was younger, get permanent residence status in a state that doesn’t have state income tax by getting a DL & voter registration card. Cut all ties from any state that you used to live in that has a state income tax & spend more than 11 months of the year outside of the US, preferably by working for a foreign subsidiary of a US company. I would even consider changing your US phone number to the income tax free state area code. Don’t give your tax documents to any accountant unless they are fully aware & have experience with expats working/living outside of the US for over 11 months a year. Don’t cheat Uncle Sam, pay your taxes throughout the year & let him refund what you overpaid.
