Moving States & Remote Work
“I was in California, then Arizona this year, how do I file my state returns?”
When someone lives in California and Arizona in the same year, the filing picture often depends on where they were a resident, how long they spent in each state, and where the income was earned. State returns in this kind of move commonly involve sorting out part-year residency, possible nonresident income, and withholding shown on pay statements or year-end tax forms. The exact treatment can also vary based on whether wages, self-employment income, or investment income were tied to one state or the other, and whether either state treated the person as a resident for any portion of the year. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
