Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved states this year from Illinois to Washington, how do I do my tax return?”
A move from Illinois to Washington can affect both state filing and how income is reported for the year, since the answer often depends on when the move happened, where wages were earned, and whether any employer withholding continued after the change of residence. Illinois and Washington also have very different tax systems, so the details of your pay stubs, W-2s, and any part-year residency records can matter. In many cases, the return is shaped by whether you had income sourced to Illinois before the move and whether any other state forms are needed for the same year. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
