Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Illinois to Arizona this year, how do I file taxes in both?”
Moving from Illinois to Arizona can create a filing picture that depends on when the move happened, where income was earned during the year, and whether either state treats you as a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident. In many cases, the return for each state looks at different slices of income, especially wages, investment income, and any income tied to work performed before or after the move. Records showing your move date, employer locations, and the timing of pay can make the state allocation clearer, along with any withholding already taken for Illinois or Arizona. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
