Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from California to Tennessee this year, how do I file taxes in both states?”
Moving from California to Tennessee can create a split-year filing situation, and the details often depend on when the move happened, where income was earned, and whether California still treats any income as sourced there. California and Tennessee also have different rules around residency, withholding, and how part-year returns are completed, so the timing of wages, remote work, and any investment or business income can matter. Records showing your move date, employer locations, and any California source income are often important when sorting out which return forms apply and how the income is allocated between the two states. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
