Does Undead Tax Exemption apply to Alternate Self as well?

Having been watching The Flash (2014) where the alternate versions of Harrison Wells have appeared (and Jesse Quick from Earth-2), would Undead Tax Exemption apply when an Alternate Self from an Alternate Universe temporarily moved into a city for a few months?

For example, if an alternate version of Iris West suddenly decided to appear on Earth-1 from another Earth, maybe Earth-2, or Alex Danvers or Eve Teschmascher from Earth-38 (that of Supergirl) decided to buy property for vacation, would this be Undead Tax Exemption in practise?

I know it's often used in a fantasy context like Star vs. the Forces of Evil but what about for Alternate Self versions of a character?

I would say that depends on whether they can use the original's identity for things requiring an identity. If they can, or if they don't need it, it doesn't count. If they don't use it, and it should be required, then it counts.

I'll just point out now that none of the Arrowverse characters listed in the OP, with the possible exception of Iris West, can actively use the identity of their Earth-1 counterpart without being caught.

• Earth-1 Harrison Wells is known to the public as a murderer, and is believed to have died in 2015. ^note Earth-2 Wells stayed in hiding during his stints on Earth-1. Later, Earth-19 Wells got around this by using the name "H.R. Randolf" in public.
• Jesse Quick is known to not have an Earth-1 counterpart. ^note We don't know what name she used while living on Earth-1.
• Earth-1 Iris West is an active part of Team Flash, so if an alternate Iris attempts this it's likely to end badly.
• No Earth-38 character has a known Earth-1 counterpart, and it is hinted in the first crossover that they don't exist on Earth-1.

So, are they doing things that would require an identity? Dimension hoppers are mentioned, and they probably qualify as such. If they stay below the radar, the trope is kind of moot anyway, as if they don't integrate into the parts of society that requires them to have a citizenship, records, and what not, they're sidestepping the issues the trope is about.
