[QUOTE=Average Guy;935934]To be a Florida resident for 2013 income tax purposes, the law states that you must reside in Florida for at least 183 days in 2013.[/Q
Did not realize this. I thought (one of several ways to become a resident) you could just sign a statement at the court house and become a resident. The problem is getting you prior state to agree that you are a FL resident.
Of course you would vote in FL, resister you cars etc. as suggested in the above posts.
Can you site the FL law for the 183 days?
I became a FL resident the day I closed on my FL home. It was my second day in FL for the current year Remember FL does not have an income tax on individuals.
