Moving States & Remote Work
“I relocated from California to Arizona this year, how do I handle state tax filing?”
A move from California to Arizona often creates a split-year filing picture, so the main issues usually center on your residency dates, the source of your income, and whether any wages, investment gains, or business income were earned before or after the move. California and Arizona can each have different filing expectations depending on where you lived and worked, and remote work can add another layer if income was earned while physically in either state. Records showing the move date, employer withholding, and any California-source income are often important in sorting out the filing positions. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
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.
