Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved midyear from Illinois to Washington, how do I file my state taxes?”
A midyear move from Illinois to Washington often creates a split-year filing question, since the states treat residency, income sourcing, and move dates differently. The main factors usually include when Illinois residency ended, whether any income was earned from Illinois sources after the move, and how Washington’s lack of a state income tax affects the filing picture. In many cases, the return may need to reflect part-year residency in one state and no individual income tax filing in the other, but the exact treatment depends on the income types involved and the timing of the move. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
