Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Illinois to Georgia this year, how do I file taxes in both states?”
A move from Illinois to Georgia often creates a part-year filing situation in both states, and the exact treatment usually depends on when the move happened, where income was earned, and whether any wages, business income, or investment income were sourced to either state. State residency rules, withholding shown on W-2s, and any remote work performed before or after the move can all affect how each return is prepared. Illinois and Georgia may also treat the same income differently, so the filing picture often turns on how residency and source income are documented. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
