Hello @jeast1 !

 

Thanks for the question. I'm happy to help. 

 

If you move to Florida and away from Massachusetts permanently during a tax year, you may be able to file a part-year resident return for Massachusetts for that year. You will be liable for any pass-through income (regardless of whether it was earned in FL or MA) for the dates during which you were a resident, and you will be able to allocate the income you earned after the date you moved as non-resident income (meaning it will not be taxed). 

 

If you were a lawful resident during any period of time in MA during the tax year, there is no way to retroactively change that and prevent your income from being taxed in MA.
