Moving States & Remote Work

“I’m moving from Illinois to Georgia this year, how do my taxes work in both states?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Moving from Illinois to Georgia can create a split-year filing picture, where the timing of the move, the source of income, and each state’s residency rules all affect how the return is handled. In many cases, Illinois may still tax income tied to Illinois residency or Illinois sources, while Georgia may look at income earned after establishing residency there. The details often depend on where the work was performed, how long each home was maintained, and whether wages, investment income, or other items were earned before or after the move. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
