“How do I file state taxes if I moved from Illinois to Arizona this year?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to Arizona can create a split-year filing picture, since the return often depends on when residency changed, where income was earned, and whether any wages, investment income, or other items were tied to each state. Illinois and Arizona may each treat part of the year differently, so the filing approach often turns on your move date, employer payroll records, and any state withholding already taken out. In many cases, the details of home ownership, remote work, and timing of the move also affect how the state returns are prepared. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
