There’s one factor that you need to remember about qualifying as a Montana resident for income tax purposes.
To be a Montana resident, you must maintain a permanent home in Montana. A “permanent home” means a dwelling place you habitually use as your residency if you leave the state temporarily with the intention of returning.
However, you can lose Montana residency for two reasons.
- You move outside of Montana permanently, and
- You have no intention of moving back.
