Until then all you can do is plan and speculate.
As mentioned... voter registration, health insurance, vehicle registration & insurance.
good luck with the changes.

I will for certain remain in Michigan for at least 8 months. So for 2013 2/3 of time will be spent in Michigan and 1/3 of my time in Arizona. My income will come 100% from Michigan for 2013. Once I move to Arizona I will not work again until Jan 1, 2014.
So all of my money will be earned in Michigan.
I will most definitely have to file Michigan Income Tax, and I am assuming I will also have to file Arizona Income Tax, as it is stated in their tax information:
"Residents
You are a resident of Arizona if your domicile is in Arizona.
Domicile is the place where you have your permanent home.
It is where you intend to return if you are living or working
temporarily in another state or country. If you leave Arizona
for a temporary period, you are still an Arizona resident while
gone. A resident is subject to tax on all income no matter
where the resident earns the income."
Meaning behind my phrasing:
My residence in Arizona is my primary residence on paper. I will have NO address in Michigan on paper, no mail in Michigan. The only address and residence attached to my name is my address in Arizona. I am renting a portion of a house from a friend here in Michigan. Not linked to my name at all, nothing, zero in Michigan on paper. Arizona is my Primary and Permanent residence.
Thanks!
