Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Illinois to Tennessee this year, how do I file taxes in both states?”
Moving from Illinois to Tennessee during the year can create a part-year filing situation in one or both states, and the exact filing pattern often depends on the move date, where income was earned, and whether any wages were sourced to Illinois after the move. Tennessee does not generally have a broad individual income tax on wages, but Illinois may still tax income tied to work performed there or to residency before the move. Records such as W-2s, employer location details, and proof of residency change often shape how the returns are prepared. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
