Moving States & Remote Work
“How do I file state taxes if I moved from Illinois to Washington this year?”
A move from Illinois to Washington can create a split-year filing picture, since Illinois taxes residents based on residency and Washington does not have a state income tax. The main factors often include when the move happened, whether any income was earned while still an Illinois resident, and whether any Illinois-source income continued after the move. Records showing the date you changed your home, where you worked, and any withholding on your pay can shape how the state returns are prepared. In many cases, the details of residency and source income determine how the filing is split. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
