Moving States & Remote Work

“As a freelancer, I moved to Alabama this year, how do I file in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from California to Texas often creates a dual-state filing picture, since the return can depend on when the move happened, where income was earned during the year, and whether any wages, investment income, or business activity still ties back to California. State residency status, part-year residency, and sourcing rules for remote work can all affect how each return is prepared. In many cases, the timing of the move and the type of income received before and after it are central to determining what gets reported to each state. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
