For a mere mortal like me, this would seem like a noob Q. But what kind of weird tax situations might you encounter when you are at sea for a majority of your time? And what advice might you have for people that encounter it?
Americans often change their State citizenship to a State that is explicitly set up to support non-resident nomads and expats with minimal hassle. South Dakota is a well-known example and requires no tax filings. Federal taxes follow you globally.
Some States (e.g. California) require you to pay taxes etc as if you were physically resident long after you've left the US. If you are planning on spending minimal time in the US then people are often advised to legally re-domicile to a expat-friendly State if they can.
Being at sea most of the time is similar to the situation of nomads that move enough to not establish tax residency anywhere.
