If you are a KY resident, you file an income tax return for any income that you must report on a US resident return, because if you are a KY resident, the income is taxable to KY as well. If you are not a KY resident, then you only have to file taxes in KY on income earned in KY.

Having a driver's license does not in and of itself constitute you a KY resident. Generally speaking, you are a KY resident if you maintain a KY domicile (or abode) and you are physically present in the state for at least 183 days in the year. If both of these do not apply, you are a non-resident. You are a part-year resident when you have moved into the state with the intention of making it your state of abode, or if you have moved out of the state for the same reason.

Since you sound like you have very few ties to Kentucky, you only need to file a KY nonresident return if you earned money in KY.

Thanks, Daniel. I would appreciate an opinion on this question preferably from someone who is familiar, specifically, with KY state tax filings.
I may be filing in KY for the first time as a part year non-resident. The only reason this may be required is I now have a KY driver's license and vote there although I've never lived there but live full-time in Greece and have for the last 16 years. I was previously a FL resident. Nor have I ever had any income from KY sources. The reason for KY is that one needs a driver’s license from somewhere and a state in which to vote. My sister lives in KY. A query to the KY tax office seems to indicate that by virtue of having a driver’s license issued there, I need to file.
So my question is “do I really need to file in KY?” Thank you very much.
