Which is my state of legal residence?

Question:i grew up in FL, went into the military and now have resided in CO for 9 months and will be moving back to FL 07/2008. i'm filling out my FAFSA and don't know which i should put as my state of legal residence. CO or FL. i've been working and paying taxes in CO for 8 months now. please help. thank you.

Answers:
Colorado, because that is where you currently live.
Because your in the military you don't have to change over residency. You could have kept it for FL. As long as your still enlisted in the military.

. For civilians after 30days moving in to a new state by law they have to change over residency.
Most states have a rule that if you live in them for a certain amount of time you have to declare residency. Generally that invoves registering you car, getting a new license, registering to vote, etc. So legally you are probably aupposed to be a CO resident but if you haven't done those things then you aren't. Check the state gov's website. I currently (but not permanently) live in DE an DE have a little brochure on how to declare residency. CO may have something like that.
It sounds like you are technically a CO resident since you will be there until 7/08. You might want to look up the FL requirements for residency to see if you can fudge the facts a little and qualify for FL. you already have the license, I would look up the schools and see what the requirements are for residency. maybe you could set up a bank account or something. my daughter moved from HI back to CA for school and had to submit tons of documentation to prove she was a CA resident. bank statements, credit cards, DL, pay stubs...
