Temporary absences from your resident state don't count as permanent moves. Generally, you're a resident of a state if you don't intend to be there temporarily. It's where home is—where you come back to after being away on vacation, on a business trip, or at school.
For tax purposes, you are a nonresident of a state if you temporarily worked there (with no intention of making it your home) or you received income from sources in that state, such as rental property.
You are a part-year resident of a state if your permanent home is located there for a portion of the tax year, for example, if you move from one state to another.
Did you temporarily work in Florida as a NY resident, and then make a permanent move to North Carolina? In this case you would file 2 part-year returns - NY and NC. If you were a NY resident all year and worked temporarily in FL and NC, you would file one NY resident state return and a non-resident return for NC. Florida does not have income tax, so there is no state return needed.
