Moving mid-year usually means filing in two states, and there's a right way to split it so you're not taxed twice.
When you move from one state to another during the year, you generally file a part-year resident return in each state. Your income gets split based on when and where you earned it, so each state taxes the portion that belongs to it.
If some income ends up touched by both states, a credit for taxes paid to another state usually steps in to prevent the same dollars from being fully taxed twice. The details depend on which states are involved.
It's also worth knowing that some states have no income tax at all, which can simplify one side of your move. Either way, we make sure each return reflects the right residency periods and income.
Generally no. You file as a part-year resident in each state and split your income by when you earned it, and a credit for taxes paid to another state usually prevents the same income from being fully taxed twice.
If you lived and earned income in two states during the year, you typically file a part-year resident return in each one. We prepare both so the income is divided correctly.
Some states don't have an income tax, which can simplify that side of your move. You'd still file for the state that does tax income, and we handle that split for you.
