Moving States & Remote Work
“I lived in California and Washington this year, how do I file my state taxes?”
Filing when you lived in both California and Washington during the year often depends on where you were a resident, where your income was earned, and whether either state treats part of the year differently for tax purposes. California and Washington can create a mixed picture because California generally taxes residents and certain income tied to the state, while Washington has no state income tax, which can affect how wages, remote work, and move dates are reported. The main details usually include your residency timeline, employer withholding, and whether any income source is connected to California. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
