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

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to South Carolina can create a split-year filing situation, where the timing of the move, the source of income, and any withholding tied to each state all affect how the returns are prepared. In many cases, the Illinois return focuses on income connected to Illinois while the South Carolina return reflects residency after the move, and employer payroll records often help separate the two periods. Other factors, such as remote work days, home ownership, and any income earned before or after the move, can also shape how each state return is handled. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
