We left Connecticut in November 2019 (the end of the year). We still owned our house up north, but it was for sale and vacant, though we kept it insured until the closing date in March 2020.

We had to file a CT income tax return and were responsible for taxes on all the income, both hubby's pension and my part-time job. Since we were officially living in Florida the entire year of 2020 (and after), we didn't have to pay any income tax in Connecticut on pensions for the 2020 tax year.

Oddly enough however, we are still paying Connecticut state sales tax on our cell phone bill. This is actually a good thing since Connecticut sales tax is lower than Florida sales tax by around 1/2 a percent.
