Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved states this year from Illinois to Texas, how does tax filing work for me?”
A move from Illinois to Texas often creates a split-year filing situation, where the timing of the move, the source of income, and any days worked in each state can affect what gets reported to each state. Illinois and Texas also handle residency differently, since Texas does not have a state income tax, while Illinois may still look at whether income was earned or sourced there before the move. Remote work, employer withholding, and the date your domicile changed are common factors that shape the filing picture. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
