Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Massachusetts to Washington this year, how do I file my taxes in both states?”
A move from Massachusetts to Washington can create a split-year filing question, since Massachusetts often looks at residency, source of income, and the timing of the move, while Washington has no state income tax but may still matter for records tied to employment, payroll, or other state filings. The filing picture often depends on whether income was earned before or after the move, whether any wages were sourced to Massachusetts, and how your employer handled withholding. Documentation such as your move date, W-2s, and any state withholding records usually helps determine how the two-state return is handled. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
