Moving States & Remote Work
“How do I file state taxes for the year I moved from California to Washington?”
The filing picture for a year that includes a move from California to Washington often depends on when the move occurred, how much income was earned before and after the move, and whether any income is still connected to California sources. California generally looks closely at residency status, part-year residency, and income earned while living or working in the state, while Washington does not have a state income tax. Records for paychecks, move dates, and any remote work arrangement can affect how the return is prepared and which state forms are involved. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
