Moving States & Remote Work

“I lived in Virginia and then Arizona this year, how do I do my taxes in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Moving from Virginia to Arizona in the same year often creates a part-year filing situation in both states, and the exact treatment usually depends on residency dates, where income was earned, and whether any wages, self-employment income, or investment income were sourced to either state. The return process can also be shaped by withholding shown on W-2s or 1099s, any credits for tax paid to another state, and how each state defines part-year residency. In many cases, the main task is matching income to the correct period and state, then checking whether both states expect separate returns. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
