Living overseas and filing US taxes azulito 12-21-2007

I am a US citizen who moved to South America two years ago. I am retired and
my income comes totally from the US [pension plan, social security
retirement,] and an annuity, which I withdrew in full this year [2007.]

Although I live in South America, I also keep a mailing address and a bank
account in New York State; in fact, all my income is deposited in that
checking account. I notified the US Board of Elections to send my election
ballot to South America. I still have my NYS driver license active. During
2007 I visited New York for 12 days only.

I contacted the NYS Taxation Department a year ago and told them about my
living situation and they said that I am not considered a NYS resident,
because I live in South America.

Now, my question is do I have to file NYS taxes again this year or should I
file my Federal tax only? If so, can I use my mailing address in NYS or
should I use my address in South America?

Please instruct. Thank you!

Happy Holidays to y'all!!!
