“How do I deal with taxes in both states when I moved from Illinois to Washington?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Moving from Illinois to Washington can create a state tax picture that depends on when the move happened, where income was earned, and whether Illinois still views you as a resident or part-year resident for filing purposes. Washington does not have a personal income tax, but Illinois often looks closely at residency changes, source of wages, and any income tied to work performed before the move. The details of your move date, employer payroll records, and whether any income was earned while living or working in Illinois often shape how both states treat the return. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
