“I left Virginia for Washington this year, how should I file my state taxes?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Virginia to Washington often raises state filing questions because the two states treat residency, source income, and the timing of the move differently. The main factors usually include when Virginia residency ended, whether any income was earned from Virginia sources after the move, and whether Washington income tax applies at all, since Washington’s rules are different from most states. In many cases, the state return picture depends on whether part-year resident filing is involved and how wage records, employer withholding, and address changes line up with the move date. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
