Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from California to Texas this year, how do I file my taxes in both states?”
A move from California to Texas often creates a split-year filing situation, where residency, the timing of the move, and where income was earned can all affect how returns are prepared. California’s rules for part-year residency, Texas’s lack of state income tax, and the source of wages, remote work income, or business income are often the main factors that shape the filing approach. Records showing when the move occurred, employer withholding, and any California-source income can also matter. In many cases, the state returns are coordinated so the income is reported in the right place based on residency and sourcing. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
