Before you file or move
This page is about state income tax only. Your federal return has its own rules for military retired pay, and VA disability compensation is a separate benefit from retired pay. State rules change, and the details (age, years, which kinds of pay qualify, survivor benefits) matter. Check with the Florida Department of Revenue before you file or move.
