We bought our home in April, sold our PA home in August and moved to FL permanently in August. I used TurboTax as usual. I bought the version that included state tax for that year. It asks about dates, etc so that the income tax for the state with tax is prorated. It's based on when you change residency, not on purchase of property. Same goes for the homesteading of the real estate. You only do it in one state according to the rules (Tax Appraiser's office can assist you.)
