Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Massachusetts to Arizona this year, how do I file taxes in both?”
A move from Massachusetts to Arizona can create a split-year filing situation, where the timing of the move, the source of income during each part of the year, and each state’s residency rules all affect how the returns are prepared. In many cases, the Massachusetts return may focus on income connected to the period before the move or tied to Massachusetts, while Arizona may look at income earned after establishing residency there. Wages, remote work location, and any withholding already taken from paychecks often shape how the filings are coordinated. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
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.
