Moving States & Remote Work
“How do I deal with state taxes if I moved from Illinois to Texas this year?”
Moving from Illinois to Texas can create a mix of state filing questions, since Illinois and Texas treat residency and income differently, and Texas does not have a state income tax. The main factors often include when the move happened, where income was earned before and after the move, and whether any Illinois-source income remained after leaving. In many cases, records for wages, remote work, and the dates tied to the move help determine how much income is allocated to each state. The treatment can also vary if there were part-year residency issues or withholding in the wrong state. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
