“I moved from Illinois to Arizona this year, how do I file taxes in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to Arizona can create a part-year filing situation in both states, and the details often depend on when residency changed, where income was earned during the year, and whether any wages, business income, or investment income were tied to either state. Illinois and Arizona can each look at residency, source of income, and withholding differently, so the filing picture may involve more than simply reporting the move itself. Records showing dates of relocation, employer withholding, and any Illinois source income are often important in sorting out how the two returns fit together. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
