Make sure you change your health insurance to Florida, or NY (or any other state) will forever hound you for taxes. You are considered a resident of the state where you get your health insurance. I guess if you are 65+ and are on Medicare that is a different story since it is a federal program. Our desire to have access to our doctors in Massachusetts has kept us from being able to change our primary state of residency to Florida. Before Obamacare it used to be that you just had spend 183+ days per year in a state to claim it as your primary residency.
