Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved from Virginia to Georgia this year, how do I file taxes in both?”
A move from Virginia to Georgia can create a filing picture that depends on residency dates, where income was earned during the year, and whether any wages or other income were tied to work performed in each state. In many cases, one state return is treated as a part-year resident filing and the other as a nonresident or resident filing, with income allocation based on the timing and source of the earnings. With remote work, employer withholding records, W-2s, and any state tax payments often shape how the returns are prepared and whether credits for taxes paid to another state come into play. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
