Moving States & Remote Work
“I changed states from California to Washington this year; how should I file taxes?”
A California to Washington move can affect both state filing and residency questions, since the answer often depends on when the move happened, where income was earned during the year, and whether any California source income continued after the move. California and Washington also differ because Washington does not have a personal income tax, which can make the split-year picture more nuanced. In many cases, payroll records, moving dates, and any remote work arrangement are important for determining how income is allocated and which returns may be involved. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
