Moving States & Remote Work

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

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Massachusetts to Tennessee often creates a split-year filing situation, where the timing of the move, the source of income earned before and after the move, and whether any wages or other income were tied to Massachusetts can affect how the returns are prepared. Tennessee has no broad personal income tax on wages, while Massachusetts typically taxes income connected to residency or work performed there, so residency dates and employer records can matter a lot. In many cases, withholding shown on W-2s and any income from remote work, investments, or a former Massachusetts address also shape the filing approach. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
