I’m interested in hearing your story of settling up with, and disengaging from, your home state tax collecting system whether Virginia or other, what you used as your transition-to-Florida date, and any advice to avoid pitfalls. Many thanks in advance.
We moved in 2019 from Virginia. I filed 2019 year tax as Florida resident. No issues. I have never heard a word from Virginia, but I am a conservative. Maybe they are glad I am gone. Getting rid of my vote was worth more than my money I guess!
