What is the name of your state? NC
Our legal state of residency is NC. My husband works on a ship that cruises the HI islands 8months out of the year. Last year he actually only worked 3 months on the ship that cruised the HI waters. The others months was spent out of the country bringing the new ship to the US. He filled out a form from payroll to see if he had to pay HI taxes. He was able to answer NO to all the questions. Does he still legally have to file in HI as well as NC? Our accountant seems to think so because the ship cruises the HI waters, but he qualified according to the HI form. Very confused about this.
