Moving States & Remote Work

“I changed from Maryland to Tennessee this year, how do I handle filing taxes in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Maryland to Tennessee often creates a part-year filing question, since Maryland generally looks at income earned while you were a resident, while Tennessee’s treatment depends on the type and source of income involved. The main factors are the date you established Tennessee residency, where your wages were earned, and whether any income was tied to Maryland sources after the move. Payroll withholding, employer records, and any part-year resident forms also tend to matter. In many cases, the return reflects both states’ rules and the timing of the move. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
