“How do I file state taxes when I moved from Illinois to Texas this year?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Moving from Illinois to Texas can affect how state income tax is reported, especially if part of the year was spent as an Illinois resident and part in Texas. The main factors usually include the move date, where income was earned during the year, and whether any Illinois-source wages or other income were received after the move. Texas does not generally have a state income tax, so the Illinois filing piece often depends on residency status and source of income. Records for the move, employer withholding, and any W-2 or other income statements are often important in sorting out the return. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
