Moving States & Remote Work
“I’m moving from Massachusetts to Washington this year, how do I file my taxes in each state?”
Moving from Massachusetts to Washington can create a split-year filing picture, and the details often depend on when the move happened, where income was earned during the year, and whether any wages, investment income, or other items are still tied to Massachusetts sources. Washington does not have a personal income tax in the usual sense, but Massachusetts filing status can still matter if you were considered a resident or part-year resident for any portion of the year. The timing of the move, your employer’s payroll records, and any state withholding on your W-2s are common factors that shape how the returns are prepared. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
