What is it that triggers a requirement by that state for proof of residency change? And how many private accounts that you own are they entitled to go snooping through?
As far as I can tell, there's no way to reliably prove how many days per year a person lives in one house or another.

You need to put your address on your IRS tax return. Also, some states will use credit card receipts and other data to show that you are spending more than 6 months in their state. I think you are the one who needs to prove them wrong, not the other way around. You cannot just come to Florida for a few days, establish a residency, and then move back to your old state to avoid taxes.
