Moving States & Remote Work
“I switched from California to Tennessee this year, how does filing in both states work?”
A move from California to Tennessee often creates a part-year filing situation, where each state looks at the period you were a resident and the income connected to that time. The main factors usually include the date you established Tennessee residency, how much income was earned while living or working in each state, and whether any wages, remote work, or other income still has California sourcing. In many cases, the return is shaped by residency status, employer withholding, and records showing where the work was performed and when the move became effective. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
