A tax agency of another state can file a lien for taxes in Florida, and can
levy, attach, garnish wages, bank accounts, and other assets to collect the
taxes. Depends on the law of the other state as to whether your tax liability
will be pursued in Florida. You do not have to be a resident of VA or any
state but if you have assets in FL, they may be subject to levy. Why you
state you were exempt from the taxes but still owe the taxes is not clear.
