Moving States & Remote Work

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

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to Tennessee can create a part-year filing situation, and the answer often depends on when the move happened, where income was earned before and after the move, and whether any Illinois-source income remained after leaving. In many cases, state residency rules, employer withholding records, and the timing of wages, retirement income, or other receipts shape how each return is prepared. Tennessee also has its own tax profile to consider, while Illinois often looks closely at income tied to the period of residency or to work connected with the state. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
