Tomatoes are perennials and in the tropics or subtropics will live for years.They are treated as annuals in northern climates because frost in fall will finish them.If they are not planted in ground but potted instead, you can protect your tomatoes from freezing and they may live several years.Example: As soon as it got colder (early September), I removed them from my balcony and into a 'solarium' room (a room that has windows on two sides). They kept having fruit until late November. They are still inside, and presently - in February - I have fruit and new flowers again. They taste a bit less sweet since they are inside (behind huge window). In addition, I had 4 different types of tomato plant, and 3 of them survived (and have fruit now).
If you put them inside, make sure they have plenty of light and sun, or add some artificial (grow) light. Room should be ventilated and not humid in order to avoid fungus.
Lastly, if you like that specific kind of tomato you have at home, and it lives throught the winter, you can 'clone' it by removing 'suckers' and potting them.
