To be eligible for citizenship, what to do for the below situations?

1) Do one need to maintain residene if the person is single and out of US for six months? It's just a waste of money, right? How do you manage this?

2) What about car insurance during absence? Do we have to keep paying even if no one use the car?

3) When paying taxes, if the person stays less than 180 days in a year in any state, he will come under non-resident and has to file taxes using non-resident form. Is this OK?

Difference between part-year resident and non-resident?

By laws of most states, liability insurance is mandatory as long as you
own a car. It is not directly related to immigration but if you
don't have insurance and you are cited for that, you have to reveal that
on yoru criminal history. Some cops are bored durting stake out
and they punch tag number into their computer and they may find you don't have insurance

It is an illegal seizure, when traffic police stops a driver, after scanning the license plate, for a mere habit of searching. They must have more than a mere suspicion in order to stop a driver. One nutty cop, arrested me and towed away my 65k mercedez, when i reminded the poor fellow that he had no reason to stop me to begin with and subsequently finding out my .... It pleases me to say: my citations were dismissed in court, without much effort. Smart Me. :D

Your license number is in plain view so that no 4th amenmend right
is violted if the cop check it and find it has no insurance and then
stop the car

Having a house and a car is not enough to maintain GC. A house and a car is not the criteria to maintain GC. It may not be necessary and having the same is not considered being resident. Filing a tax-return as non -resident itself is an act of abondoning GC. You should always file as resident.

(Z/OS v1.4. If JoeF reads this post, he will be HEAVY on you. Your Z/OS version 1.4 will go with endless battle version after version from 1.4 Version 1.4 billion. :p )

I guess you are talking about state tax here. You are always US resident for federal tax purposes and USCIS will consider you abondoned GC if you file federal tax as non resident. State tax is a different story and USCIS shouldn't (hopefully) care for that. If you were non resident in a state by state's definition, you have to file as non resident. Otherwise it will be a tax fraud.

I cannot advice you on the other points. If you want to keep GC but do not want to be in US or maintain residence, it is your call.

It is impossible to be a US resident without being a at least
a part-resident of at least one state or territory of USA.

The only exception I can think is that you live on interstates.
 
you know I never understood that

why on earth would someone spend all this time and energy getting here and filing all the paperwork to become pr but not want to live here?

make up your mind ahead of time about this and that will save you a lot of time and money. At least wait a few more years and become citizen then do whatever you want.

If you want to live here then live here

if you dont then dont

I know a lot of business-orient people do this. They go to the
home country to do business and make big money. they want to
keep GC in order to come back In case
that things go sour.
