Moving States & Remote Work

“I relocated from Illinois to South Carolina this year, how do I do my state tax return?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to South Carolina often means the state filing picture depends on residency dates, where income was earned during the year, and whether any wages, retirement income, or other items were sourced to either state. In many cases, a part year return for each state may come into play, along with allocation of income tied to the move period. Details such as withholding shown on W-2s, any remote work days, and whether a refund or balance due is expected can affect how the returns are prepared and which state gets credit for tax paid. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
