If you are a resident of Ohio, they will want tax for the whole year no matter where you spend time.

You have to pay OH state income tax on the 12 months your were an Ohio resident.
You were never a FL resident.
Ask your friend if he went on vacation from Ohio to Florida for a month would he only have to pay Ohio state income tax for 11 months.

I have moved around a lot and yes, IF YOU WERE A FLORIDA RESIDENT FOR 6 MONTHS, you would only pay 6 months in each state.
Make sure you know what being a resident means.

I'm not certain about Ohio, but neither Pennsylvania nor Florida has an income tax on retirement income. When we bought a condo, we debated about becoming Florida residents to enjoy the Homestead Exemption there. We quickly changed our minds when we discovered that an increase in our car insurance would wipe out any other savings that we anticipated.

Some states, CA comes to mind, even wants to tax you on retirement income if you move out of the state and earned it while a CA resident. If you officially change residences/voting/etc. every 6 months you probably could get by with it. but why not "move" to Fl permanently and then maybe spend some time on vacation in Ohio.
now when I worked in Kansas City with their City earnings tax, possibly was the same in Cincinnati, since I did not actually live in the town I could exempt any income when I was working on the road. they did not let you exempt the 4 weeks of vacation however, if you were actually a city resident.
When I was in Kansas City I lived just outside of town and had a KC mailing address. on the one postcard that I received dunning me I wrote, "I do not now and I never have lived in Kansas City, Missouri". I thought that was fairly clear, but they wrote back asking for an explanation.

CA doesn't tax you like that anymore. A court case put an end to it.
