Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from California to South Carolina this year, how do I file my taxes in both states?”
A move from California to South Carolina often creates a split-year filing question, where residency status, the timing of the move, and the source of income during each period can all affect which state returns are involved. California and South Carolina may treat part-year income differently, especially if wages, remote work, or other earnings were received before and after the move. Documentation such as move dates, employer records, and any state withholding can also shape how the returns are prepared. The exact filing approach typically depends on whether income was earned as a resident, nonresident, or part-year resident in each state. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
