Moving States & Remote Work

“I changed from New Jersey to Texas this year, how do I handle my taxes in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from New Jersey to Texas often creates a part-year state filing question, since the timing of the move, where income was earned, and whether any wages, business income, or investment activity remained connected to New Jersey can all affect how the return is reported. Texas does not have a state income tax, but residency changes and source-of-income rules can still matter when a taxpayer works remotely, keeps a home, or receives income tied to the prior state. Records showing the move date, employer location, and income allocation are often important. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
