A couple of additions to the "other state" question:
(1) If you haven't told your employer to stop withholding your old state income tax, you will have to file if you want to get the money back. File as non-resident and carefully point out that you are a resident of FL.
(2) Don't play games about where you live. Even if you live down here full time, if you still vote "back there", get homestead exemption on your former residence, or still have your driver's license "back there", you may get a whole lot of extra attention about where you really are a resident.
As we used to tell folks in the military, never ever muddy the waters over the question of residency. If you create confusion, you will probably get hit for lots of money.
