“I changed states from Connecticut to Washington this year, how do I handle my tax return?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Connecticut to Washington can create a return that reflects both your residency change and any income earned in each state during the year. The main factors are often the date you became a resident of Washington, where your wages or other income were sourced, and whether Connecticut still treats any part of your income as taxable after the move. Washington’s lack of a state income tax also changes the filing picture, but payroll withholding, employer records, and documentation of the move typically matter in sorting out the final return. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
