Some Iowa MH owners facing big tax problems.

Maybe westernrvparkowner is correct. Everyone that owns a RV should have a LLC in Mont. Our home states don't need the money. They just squander it anyway. The Legislators in Mont. can spend the money much better than our home states. Just think how great it would be if everyone had a LLC. You could put your auto's and home in it to avoid taxes. The LLC could purchase your groceries and even your fuel. Maybe we could become taxfree. :S

Where did I ever say it was OK to cheat on your taxes? Actually what I was referring to is the FACT it is illegal for the police to question and investigate people based only on the license plate on their vehicle. I happen to live in Montana. My RV has Montana plates. I would be fuming mad if I was singled out and forced to prove my residency because I happened to take my Motorhome to a football game in Iowa. No different than if someone with Georgia plates was stopped and their vehicle searched in Montana because someone decided that Atlanta was a hotbed for drug dealers so therefore anyone with Georgia plates is likely to be a drug smuggler.
I am sure that there are people who have homes in Iowa who have residences in multiple states. I am sure that there are Iowa residents who own RVs who have that RV in Iowa way less than the 90 day maximum that is spelled out under Iowa law. If these people choose to register the rig in another state, that is not tax evasion, that is simply using the tax codes to their advantage. It is no more cheating than itemizing all your deductions or claiming all your dependents.
