Moving States & Remote Work

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

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Moving from Illinois to South Carolina can create a part-year filing situation, where the timing of the move, the source of income, and how each state treats residency often shape the return. In many cases, the Illinois filing looks at income connected to the time you lived or worked there, while South Carolina filing considerations often depend on when residency began and whether any income was earned from South Carolina sources. W-2 withholding, remote work days, and any income received before and after the move are common details that affect how the two state returns fit together. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
