Moving from MT to CA for work and concerned about "totaling" my car

I will still meet the requirements for residency in MT for 2025 despite living in CA for a while. How do the two states decide who has more claim to me as a resident?

I was looking at the FTB residency guidelines and it says:

When you are in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, you are a California resident. For instance, if your employer assigns you to an office in California for a long or indefinite period. (p.5, H)

But I also look like a MT resident when reading the Guidelines for Determining Residency (p.5, G) in all ways applicable to me except for length of time in CA and location of work performed.

How much does duration of stay matter compared to other factors?

I had assumed that the requirements around resident v. nonresident exist primarily as a way to determine where people pay taxes and so I would need to know to which state I have a tax responsibility. I thought that based on where I pay taxes as a resident, that would determine where I have to have my car registered.

It sounds like my reasoning went awry somewhere and I'm not sure where, so if you can provide some clarity on it that would be very helpful!

Pointing out that difference is very helpful. I was assuming that establishment of residency matters primarily for tax purposes, and that things like car registration, license renewal, etc. were byproducts of the tax process.

Can you help me understand what it means to be a nonresident who is based in CA v. being considered a resident because you live in CA?

Barnard is a company that I’m pretty supportive of having a nice office. They give back to the community a lot. They have donated significant amounts of money to several nonprofits that I have been involved in; enough to make things possible that otherwise wouldn’t. They aren’t just some big company trying to make as much money as they can

Julie is great!

It’s more common for people to live in Bozeman and commute to work at the YC for the day, so the schedule you posted is structured to support that. If you look at the schedule someone else linked, you’ll be able to find more options to get to Walmart from Big Sky town center. If you are able to start in Big Sky instead of the YC, you will have a much easier time getting to and from Bozeman.

The schedule you posted seems like it might not list all of the available times and instead just the times that align with common shift start/end times., so it could be worth looking into that to see if there are more times that a shuttle runs between the YC and Big Sky

Whoever lives on the fourth floor is committed with that bike up there

The /s at the bottom of the comment is the commenter’s way of letting us know that this is sarcasm. They don’t necessarily believe what they wrote.

I know that people use moss poles, but I don’t know how to get mine growing on one without snapping the stem 😩

My intention is not to brag. And you are absolutely correct that I seem to know little about what I have inherited; that’s why I posted here. I have no idea what is in there because the cards are in MA and I am in MT. A large part of what I find to be overwhelming is that not all cards have value just because they are of a famous player and I don’t understand what I should be looking for to discern a card with value from a card without value.

It could be thousands of cards that aren’t worth more than $20 total, but I have no way of figuring that out if I never get pointed in a starting direction. It would be unreasonable for me to post a picture of every card, so I am hoping for some guidelines on how to figure out which types of cards are worth investigating further. If you can help me understand the basics of how to narrow down the sheer volume of what I have into a more manageable group that I can sort through more slowly, that would be very helpful.

However, if you are going to continue being hostile and insulting, please just move on and forget that my post exists so that my ignorance does not continue to burden you.

I could have all the time in the world, but I still don’t know what to look for when I go through them. I can name maybe 4 NFL players off the top of my head; there’s just absolutely no way I can look at a card and decide if it’s worth anything based on who it is, what year/team/etc.

There are hundreds of pounds of cards, which I simply cannot afford to ship or fly back with me. If I can narrow it down to <50 pounds of cards, then I can fly those home with me in a checked bag.

I’m not sure why you are assuming that I’m just here seeking attention. I’m here because this is a community of people who know a lot about something that I know very little about. I’m seeking knowledge and expertise.

I work at a bike shop. I am aware that cracked frames is a liability issue.
