Moving States & Remote Work
“I’m in Texas now after moving from Illinois this year, how do I file both state returns?”
A move from Illinois to Texas often creates a split-year filing question, since Illinois may still tax income tied to the time you lived or worked there, while Texas has no individual income tax. The filing picture usually depends on your residency dates, where the income was earned, and whether any wages, investments, or business income were connected to Illinois after the move. Records such as move dates, employer withholding, and any Illinois-source income are often important in sorting out how the two returns fit together. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
