Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved states this year from Virginia to Washington, how do I file my returns?”
A move from Virginia to Washington can affect how your federal return and any state filing obligations are handled, since the answer often depends on where you lived, where your income was earned, and whether you had wages, remote work, or other income tied to either state. Virginia and Washington also differ in how they treat residency and payroll withholding, so the timing of the move and the source of each paycheck can matter. In many cases, records such as final pay stubs, W-2s, and move dates help determine which returns are part-year, nonresident, or not required at all. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

- 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.
