Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Illinois to North Carolina, how do I do my taxes for both states?”
A move from Illinois to North Carolina often creates a part-year filing question, since each state may look at when residency changed, where income was earned, and whether any wages, self-employment income, or investment income was sourced to either state. The main pieces usually include the move date, the type of income received before and after the move, and any withholding already taken for Illinois or North Carolina. In many cases, records such as pay stubs, W-2s, and residency documents help show how the income is split between the two returns. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
