I believe that mandatory tax withholding of income tax only applies to wages and certain other earned income, not to other payments, such as pensions, social security income, IRA transfers, or other payments. I never allow anyone to withhold taxes from any of my payments. I pay all income taxes directly to the IRS with quarterly estimated payments. I don't understand why some people allow a third party to withhold money from their income.

When I retired in 2004 I lived in Pennsylvania. I moved into my motor home and lived in it full time for three years. Prior to that adventure I knew the endgame was to buy a home and live in Florida.
I contacted American Home Base, a mail forwarding company that is located in Pensacola, FL. They are familiar with and will enable you to have a legal residence almost immediately in Florida as they will provide you with both a post office box number AND physical Florida address. On our first trip to Florida in the motor home I stopped at their business address and they directed me to the The Florida Motor Vehicle Office where I got my Florida licence and plates. Back then their service was dirt-cheap $10/month, as I recall plus the actual postage for any mail I wanted forwarded. I would call them perhaps twice a month and give them an address where I wanted the mail. Check out their website and give them a call -- I expect they can/will answer all of your questions! Florida Mail Forwarding Service ⋆ American Home Base, Inc. Good luck and welcome (almost) to the Free State of Florida! Last edited by n8xwb; 04-17-2024 at 03:07 PM. Reason: Typo |

There are many 3rd party services like AHB if for some reason you don't want to use the PO. The PO and 3rd party services like these are very common with the homeless & transient populations. All your mail will of course go through the PO before reaching AHB or another like service, good thing is very little critical business can't be handled online so there is little required "snail mail". The OP is going to have a FL address, he is renting, so no need for an interim address if the timing works - hoping it does, there are plenty of nice rentals available. |

The PO worth considering if you do not need to forward mail to multiple locations monthly as a 3rd party service does. If like the OP you need a FL address the PO works. Options are good. |

Accurate calculation of estimated taxes avoids penalties also but that relies on the investment company to be timely and accurate - once was enough for me.

After changing drivers license, registration/titles, and registering to vote, you can severe all ties to your previous state if you also file a Florida declaration of domicile at the courthouse of whichever county that you plan to reside in. If I recall it has to be notarized and only cost $10 to file it.

Clients sometimes project they will have less taxable income so they lower their quarterly estimates. But then they get a windfall - i.e. lottery winnings - and they'll be in a penalty situation. Simply increase or start withholding on income items that didn't have withholding.
