Moving States & Remote Work
“I relocated from California to Washington this year; how do I handle my state tax filing?”
A move from California to Washington can create a split-year filing picture, especially when income was earned before and after the relocation. The key factors often include the date you changed your residency, where your wages were sourced, and whether any California ties continued after the move, such as a home, business activity, or other ongoing connections. Washington has no state income tax, but California filing obligations can still depend on residency status and the type of income involved. Records that show the move date, work location, and withholding details are often important when sorting out the state return. 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.
