State tax filing

Your federal income won't change based on your state of residency.  If you itemize deductions then you may have a higher state tax deduction based on the state income tax paid. 

 

States determine their residency requirements.  The following are the requirements for Florida (FL).

 

Florida Residency

You are considered a Florida resident … when your true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment is in Florida. Filing a declaration of domicile, qualifying for homestead exemption, or registering to vote in Florida can establish residency. Other actions, such as obtaining a Florida driver’s license, only indicate the intent to establish residency.
