Whalen:

NYS is a major pain, just moving to Florida is not enough for Gov. Patterson. You have to change "Domicile" or NYS will still expect it's pound of flesh.

I envy you and look forward to the day I can also become a Floridian.

Congratulations

Congratulations..... We're coming up on our one year anniversary here and love it. Met a lot of friendly people, always something to do, and cost of living much less.

Enjoy

Whalen...congrats!

Mel, can you explain? I will be retiring shortly, and maintaining 2 homes - NY & FL. I expect to be 7 month in FL, the rest in NY. I will have FL plates, license, etc. What else do I need to do?

Also keep a dairy of time spent in/out of NY.
NY tries to hold on to live taxpayers as long as it can, diaries and receipts are good proof of where you are and when.

Steve:

Basically you have to sever all ties to NYS. Bank and Brokerage accounts should be out of Fl. and make sure if you keep a house in NY you give up the STAR exemption. Obviously you have to change you voter registration and auto and drivers license.

BTW NYS will still consider you a resident even if you live out of state for 7 months, NYS may not agree with you, NYS requires a change in Domicile.

I did the research on google over a year ago so I don't have more details. But it is tricky enough that I will probably get advise from an Attorney in NY when time comes for us to change.
