Moving States & Remote Work

“How do I file my state taxes when I started the year in New Jersey and ended in Tennessee?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from New Jersey to Tennessee often creates a state filing question that depends on residency dates, where the income was earned during each part of the year, and whether any work was performed while still living or working in New Jersey. Because Tennessee does not generally tax wage income the same way as some other states, the main issue is often how to split the year between a part-year resident return and any required nonresident or resident filings. With remote work involved, employer withholding records and the timing of the move can also affect how the return is prepared. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
