MA resident but spend 3-6 mos in FL. TT says I don't have to pay MA tax on income RECEIVED while I'm in FL. Is this correct??

[jklj4]

TT does not say earned income just income RECEIVED. Dividends, IRA withdrawals, cap gains dist.??????

It doesn't matter. Your home state taxes all of your income of all types.

It sounds like you may be trying to file a part year resident return in MA. 

If MA is still your legal residence, you must claim all of your income, and file as full year resident there.
