Residency

Residency is the act of establishing or maintaining a residence in a given place.

Residency is a critical component of form determination for residents and non-residents. Below is a sample request and response from our guided-flows (POST) endpoint

Request

{
	"homeAddress": {
	    "streetAddress1": "11 S Union St",
		"city": "Montgomery",
		"state": "AL",
		"zipCode": "36130"
	},
	"workAddresses": [
		{
            "streetAddress1": "11 S Union St",
            "city": "Montgomery",
            "state": "AL",
            "zipCode": "36130"
		},
        {
            "streetAddress1": "455 North Galvin Parkway",
            "city": "Phoenix",
            "state": "AZ",
            "zipCode": "85008"
		},
        {
            "streetAddress1": "111 MAPLE STREET",
            "city": "Farmingdale",
            "state": "ME",
            "zipCode": "04344"
		}
	]
}

Response

In the response below, you'll see the Federal flow, Resident flow, and multiple Non-resident flows. It is important to note that if you are a resident of a state that you cannot be a non-resident of the same state and vice versa. Therefore in the above example you will never receive AL_RESIDENT and AL_NONRESIDENT in the same response from the SPF API as residency is mutually exclusive.
