Moving States & Remote Work

“I switched from Illinois to Georgia this year, do I file two state tax returns?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A move from Illinois to Georgia can create a filing question that depends on residency timing, where income was earned during the year, and how each state treats part-year residents. In many cases, one state return may cover the period before the move and another may apply after the move, but the details often hinge on your move date, employment location, and whether any income was sourced to Illinois or Georgia. State withholding, remote work arrangements, and any credits for tax paid to another state can also affect the final filing picture. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.

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.
