[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have friends whose DC attends and loves it. Does social science and public policy - is a go getter  worldly independent kid.

They currently live abroad but purposely got FL residency at some point and pay FL state tax there so they could apply in state for U Florida  (knowing costs were so low for instate.) They never lived in FL before they left to live abroad.

Meanwhile their second ended up in school in TX.

We’ll see about the third. [/quote]

There is no FL state tax.

- FL resident[/quote]

Taxes come in many forms my friend - FL relies on property tax. [/quote]
That’s a stretch as the poster said they lived abroad. I know many people who got in-state tuition to Florida after buying property and it’s doable but they check time spent in the state. Is it possible to get in-state by just paying property tax?

More likely they are abroad with the military and are just not paying state income taxes. [/quote]

They are not military - many people who have corporate jobs where they are posted abroad will own a house in the US and have state drivers license and maybe even a car. They are not "state-less".

And if you are going to live abroad like this and have kids and are forward thinking - maybe you opt to choose your US state of residence with college in mind. Get property and drivers licenses.  Some people do the same with state income tax in mind.  FL fills both college and income tax buckets quite nicely.

I love all the expert naysayers here - why bother.[/quote]
Why not just post the details since it's a very specific set of circumstances instead of having people guess and then getting pissy?
Usually you still have to live in Florida for 183 days to be released from your old state's taxing authority.
