Military Legal Residence and Home of Record Address

Military Legal Residence and Home of Record AddressMilitary Legal Residence and Home of Record AddressMany people in the military have heard about the opportunity to change their legal residence to a state that does not have an income tax. There are only seven states that do not impose an income tax. States like Florida, Texas, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming do not have an additional income to the federal income tax that we all pay. Many of these states have military bases in them, but perhaps not your service branch. It still does not matter, but there are some intricacies to navigating this process to change your legal residence while serving the military. Changing your home of record or legal residence is something that can be done to obtain a tax benefit, but it is not as simple as it sounds. Full Explanation In the United States Military, there is a difference between the terms Home of Record and Legal Residence. Home of Record and Legal Residence mayo r may not be the same address. The Home of Record is the distributions-mix where one was living when they entered the military (or, re-enlisted in the military, if one chooses). This term is used to determine travel entitlements when one separates from the military. It has nothing to do with voting or paying taxes, registering vehicles, or any of the other privileges of state residency. The Home of Record can only be changed if there is a break in service of more than one day, or to correct an error. Legal Residency, or domicile, refers to the place where a military member intends to return to and live after discharge or retirement, and which they consider their permanent home. Legal residency determines what local (state) tax laws a military member is subject to, and in which local (city, county, state) elections they may vote in. Because military members may have legal residence in one state, but be stationed in a different state, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, allows milita ry members to pay taxes, register vehicles, vote, etc. in their state of legal residence, rather than the state they are stationed in. Changing Legal Residence Can amilitary member change their legal residence any time they want and therefore avoid paying state taxes? Not quite. Under the law, legal residence is the place that the military member intends to live after they separate or retire from the military. Its the place that they consider their permanent home. Depending on their service, and local policies, an active duty military member can change their legal residence by visiting their local base legal schreibstube and/or base finance office and completing a DD Form 2058, State of Legal Residence Certificate. However, the military is required by regulation to ensure that military members are not changing their legal residence for the sole purpose of obtaining a tax advantage. Therefore, when changing your legal residence, military officials at the legal office (or finance office) may require some degree of proof that you consider the new state to be your permanent home. When It Gets Difficult The easiest proof is physical presence in the state. If you are currently stationed in a state and wish to make it your permanent home, its generally pretty easy. If you are not currently stationed in the state you wish to make your permanent home and have never been stationed there, it becomes much harder. Generally, you need a specific address, not just the state in general. You can show your intentions to become a legal resident by registering to vote in the new state, by titling and registering your car in the new state (notifying your old state of the change), by getting a drivers license in the new state, or by preparing a new last will and testament (indicating your new state as your legal residence). Buying real property in the new state will also reinforce your claim. Unless you can show such clear intentions, the military will probably not allow yo u to change your legal residence. As stated above, there are some hoops to jump through in buchen to change the legal residence on your military record and tax forms. You should make sure you thoroughly research the process and do not leave any detail out of the process. Particular care should be taken to ensure your pay records are up-to-date concerning your state of legal residence. If incorrect, you may wind up paying taxes to the wrong state or paying taxes and penalties in more than one state. If you have any doubt about your state of legal residence, contact your legal assistance office. You will also be required to complete a W-4 form to determine the amount of withholdingor exemption from withholding state taxes if your legal residence is in a state that requires an income tax to all state residents.

Actually, study th e best so much and understand why it works so you can quickly innovate and evolve beyond it.Dont be an imitator. Be an innovator. In the book, The Lessons of History, Will and Ariel Durant explain that throughout history, most people lack the creativity and courage to innovate.

Youll be out in your own personal desert really connecting and preparing yourself for the next Everest youre about to climb.Youve already mentally and emotionally disconnected from your past outcomes and identity. Youve already emotionally-connected to your new WHY and dreams. But you just need to settle it at the biological-level, where your body and brain are prepared and expect whats about to happen next.You make micro-commitments to force yourself forward.A forcing function is any task, activity or event that forces you to take action and produce a result. - Dan MartellYou then begin turning your vision into a reality as quickly as possible.You begin telling people whats next.

They hire who can get the job done.The question is, how big are you willing to play?bndig Pagan has a concept he calls Inevitability Thinking, which he defines as Thinking and acting as if what you are doing is a forgone conclusion because you set up the conditions for it to happen.Are you willing to set up conditions that make success inevitable?Are you ready to get hyper approach-oriented, where you focus on rewards over risks? - - - You have a new end-point that excites and inspires youThere are only three requirements for success. First, decide exactly what it is you want in life. Second, determine the price that you are going to have to pay to get the things you want. And third, and this is most important, resolve to pay that price. - H.L. Hunt, billionaireThe focus on risks over rewards isnt just a fun idea that entrepreneurs throw around. Its actually the basis of one of the most studied theories of motivation in psychology, known as Expectancy Theory.According to the theory, three things must be in place for a person to have extreme and uncommon levels of motivationYou must believe the reward (the WHY) of a particular goal is important, meaningful, and compelling.You must believe that you know how (clear strategies/plans/people) to achieve your goal.You must believe that you can execute the plans, strategies, and pivoting involved in achieving the goal.The rewards you seek must be deeply motivatin g and personally fulfilling. They have to mean something to you on a cosmic and existential level. They have to connect with your deepest identity and belief system about the purpose of your existence.You must want it so badly that you have what psychologists call pull motivation, which is where you cannot stop pursuing what youre after. The philosopher Rumi says it best What you seek is seeking you.You cannot compete with people who have this level of purpose. Willpower cannot compete with WHY-power.

The Heart Attack Thermometer

The Heart Attack Thermometer The Heart Attack Thermometer The Heart Attack Thermometer The scenario is all too common Thanksgiving dinner is nearly complete. Youve had seconds of the cranberry sauce, mountains of mashed potatoes, white and dark meat several times over, and pie slices apple and pumpkin, when suddenly you are struck by a constricting, tightening, and somewhat extreme pain in the chest. Do you panic? Or do you merely pop a few antacid tablets and sit back down for yet anotlageher slice? Deliberations like these would quickly come to an end if we could detect a myocardial infarction with the same ease with which we currently detect a fever. Researchers at Koreas Pohang University of Science and Technology have done just that. Their heart attack detection device was made to mimic the simplicity, affordability, and readability of a common temperature thermometer. Thankfully for those in the heart attack detection business, there is a chemical that shows up in the blood onl y during such a crisis. The protein Troponin I is only present in the heart muscles when its damaged its released, as Sangmin Jeon, a professor in the department of chemical engineering who worked on the project, puts it simply. Correct DiagnosisCurrent methods of detecting heart failure also take advantage of the proteins release, but tend toward the large, the cumbersome, and the expensive. And they require a higher concentration of troponin in the blood to make a correct diagnosis. bedrngnis too convenient for the home, and, mora to the point, not too convenient for handing out by the thousands- or millions- in locales where technology, electricity, and money are scarce. We hope to make a much more convenient one, says Jeon, a portable, cheap device that is also very sensitive. A device for detecting Troponin I using dendritic platinum nanoparticles and capillary tube indicators. Image American Chemical SocietyTo do that, he used platinum nanoparticles functionalized with tropon in antibodies. When combined with troponin, the particles aggregate and ultimately increase the pressure in the vial. A capillary tube containing a drop of ink is inserted through the cap of the vial. The pressure pushes the ink up through the tube, so that the level of troponin in the blood can be read like a thermometer.The arrangement is preferable to, for example, something similar to a pregnancy test, because it minimizes ambiguity in reading the results. The key idea is that our eyes are much more sensitive to level changes than color changes, says Jeon.And a thermometer is both rugged and cheap. The quantity of the precious metal in each vile is miniscule- a microgram- and not likely to cost more than .01 cents per unit. The current cost of all the materials in a single heart attack thermometer is around 20 cents. When its a marketed item, I dont know, says Jeon. Accessible Technology There are few technical impediments to getting the product out to the angina sufferers of th e world. One small hurdle to making the thermometer a household item is widespread hemophobia. It needs blood, a drop of blood. Its a problem that we have to overcome, says Jeon, In the emergency room, yeah, no problem, nurses and doctors can draw it. But everyone else is very afraid of the blood. Alas, as long as its troponin that gives away the cardiac arrest, no saliva sample or prod under the armpit is going to replace a prick for the red stuff. This, though, is a minor matter, for those wanting a quick look into the heart. Its also not likely to hold back hypochondriacs- and sufferers- from using similar thermometers for other worries. Just change the antibodies and Jeons vial could be used to detect bacteria or cancer, just as simply and just as affordably.Most of the technologies these days are very advanced, says Jeon. But not so many people can access them. The technology should be accessible by people all over the world. To do that, it should be easy to apply and easy to c reate economically.Michael Abrams is an independent writer.Learn more at ASMEs Global Congress onNanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology.Most of the technologies these days are very advanced.

This may bring up a blog or social media where they might have their email address listed.Alternatively, you could search the job title, plus the name of the company. You may find that the hiring manager posted the job listing somewhere else, such as Twitter. You could send a tweet or direct message to try to gain an email address, or at the very least, address your application to their name, even if you have a general email address.Seek help on LinkedIn.The person you wish to find ma y have aLinkedIn profilewith contact information. Members also can go to a companys profile and look at the How Youre Connected section off to the right. Someone in your network may be able to make an introduction or at least tell you how email addresses at that organization are structured.Ask for advice.As a last resort, a call to the companys main number or an email to the help desk is worth a shot. State your area of interest and ask who would be the appropriate person to contact. While you may get told to simply send yourapplicationto the general inbox for it to be routed appropriately, politely persist for a real contact if possible. The sooner your material ends up in the right hands, the sooner the hirer can realize how great youd be to have on boardRachel Jaycontributed to this post.
