MI Wolf,
You are approaching you desired ends from the wrong direction. The very first action you need to take is to read your state statues regarding personal income tax. If your state requirements are the same as many others; your personal income tax burden is based on only two conditions. You have a certain level of personal net income, and you are required to file a federal income tax form. If you are not required, and do not file, a federal income tax form you are not liable for any state personal income tax. If, however, you do file and pay a federal income tax; there is not one thing you can do to protect yourself from you state tax under any conditions.
