Does living in Philippines = No State tax in USA?

States and banks know that the street addresses and unit numbers provided by commercial mail box services are commercial addresses.

That may be the case and it may invite extra scrutiny but expats use the system successfully all the time with no issues.

A guy told me that the way Maine caught him in Maine over 180 days a year (which triggers state income tax) was through his cell phone records.

He was trying to evade taxes, that’s not the case here.
