Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from New Jersey to Georgia this year, how do I file taxes in both states?”
Moving from New Jersey to Georgia can create a split-year filing situation, where state residency, the timing of the move, and the source of income all affect how returns are prepared. In many cases, the main questions are whether New Jersey treats any income as taxable before the move, how Georgia handles income after establishing residency, and whether employer withholding matched the change in address. Records for move dates, W-2s, and any income earned in each state often shape the filing approach, along with whether any credits or allocations apply. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
