Moving States & Remote Work
“How do I deal with state taxes after moving from California to Arizona this year?”
A move from California to Arizona often creates a split-year tax picture, where residency, the date of the move, and where income was earned can all affect how the return is handled. California and Arizona each look at different factors, such as domicile, days spent in each state, and whether wages or other income were sourced before or after the move. The timing of the relocation, employer payroll records, and any continued ties to California, like a home or family connections, can also shape the filing approach. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
