The tax problem is not on the Fl side. You can live here one day and qualify as a resident. The problem is getting the state you left to agree you are not a resident of the old state and they can not tax you. I think the general rule of thum is the 6 months and one day. However you could be subject to being taxed as a part time resident in your home state the year you leave. Thus why you would want to talk to a CPA pratcing in your old state as opposed to a CPA in Fl. The problem is not Fl rules but the rules of the state you are leaving.
