Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from California to Arizona this year, how do I file taxes in both?”
A move from California to Arizona can create filing questions in both states, especially when the timing of the move, the source of income, and where work was physically performed all differ. California often focuses on residency and income tied to time spent there, while Arizona filing can depend on when you became a resident and what income is connected to that period. In many cases, pay stubs, employer records, and travel or work location details help separate the two state filings. The treatment of withholding and any credits for taxes paid to another state can also affect the final result. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
