Calling income tax gurus?

@madison85, the horizon is blurry. I don’t plan to move to Florida permanently. We will keep our house here in NY as husband will be working in NY. We don’t know if eventually he will move to Florida but that would be years away 3-5, maybe or I will return or we will move somewhere completely different all together (Carolinas, Calfiornia).

My current concern is that if I pursue and obtain this job in Florida, will I end up owing NY state taxes because my husband and our home is in New York. Given that Florida has no state taxes, that would mean I need to set aside funds for that and that would take away the attractiveness of working there as the NY state taxes would eat away at my income. Thus, I would have to figure out what the walk away salary would be. I am not a hot weather fan, so I would not be moving there for that. I would rent in Florida and probably come home for holidays and long weekends. If I do get this job, I would probably move August or September and given the 6 month and one day rule, I already see losing any residential benefit this year.
