Moving States & Remote Work
“I changed states from Illinois to Tennessee this year; how should I file taxes?”
A move from Illinois to Tennessee often creates a return that reflects both states, but the filing picture depends on when the move happened, where income was earned, and whether any wages, self-employment income, or investment income were tied to each state. Illinois and Tennessee also treat residency and sourcing differently, so the timing of your change of domicile can matter. In many cases, payroll withholding, final Illinois residency, and any part-year state returns are key factors, along with records showing your new Tennessee address and the dates you lived and worked in each state. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
