to James G1: Thanks for your reply. I realized this exact think just a short time ago so your confirmation makes it clear. I guess the confusion for me was the Virginia 760PY asks for the specific amount of SS paid while in VA (line 5) and the specific amount of SS paid while in Florida was always lumped into 'all other income' received while in residence outside of VA - thus never seeing the exact amount of SS from Florida on the forms. BTW. I made 3 phones calls to Virginia gov tax help asking this exact question. I got 2 different answers and 1 representative hung up in frustration looking for the correct response.
