Taxes for Clubs with members in multiple states
Since our club founding in 2010, all of our members have
been residents of Massachusetts - at tax time we have simply
filed federal and Massachusetts state tax forms. This year,
we have a new member who's primary address is in Florida.
How do we handle this situation? Do we need to file
additional forms with Florida?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Fortunately for you and your club member, there is no Florida state income tax so there is nothing else for you to file. You will have to identify this member as a non-resident on your MA return.

So, we have members in Florida (no problem, just identify), Colorado and Alaska.  Our club is in Washington State.  Do we just identify the Colorado and Alaska members also for being out of state?
 
Thanks.

The IRS doesn't care where your members live.

My previous response was directed at a club that is based in MA and has to file a MA state return. If you are based in WA, you don't have a state filing requirement. AK also has no state income tax so no partnership filing. CO does require partnerships to file a tax return, but only if they have CO-source income. Unless your club owns an interest in an MLP which has operations in CO, you don't have CO-source income.
