Moving States & Remote Work
“I moved to Washington from Illinois this year, how do I file my taxes for both states?”
Moving from Illinois to Washington can create a filing split between a part-year resident return and any state sourcing that still applies to income earned before the move. The main factors are usually the date residency changed, where the income was earned, and whether any wages, business income, or investment income are tied to Illinois after the move. Washington has no personal income tax, but recordkeeping still matters for payroll, withholding, and any Illinois filing obligations. The exact treatment often depends on how your employer reported wages and whether you kept any ties to Illinois. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
