State tax filing

Q. I thought that NY would tax any of the income he earned in Florida since the Florida tax would be 0.    Is that correct?

A. Yes, NY will tax his FL income, but not because the FL tax is 0.  It's because he is considered a full year NY resident.  His FL time was a temporary absence.  If he had paid tax to another state, NY would give him a credit for that tax
