that is the key. you have to establish residency in the no tax state. every state has different rules but is much more than just living there a few months.Quote from Hook N. Sinker:
When I became a Florida resident about year 2004 it took two years to become a resident. One set of papers - the declaration of residency, I think it's called - has to be filed during January to March. Another document has to be filed a year later. I don't know what the procedure is now.
Strictly speaking, Florida is not a no tax state. There is a property tax.
