State Tax Returns

We prepare and e-file state returns for all 50 states (plus D.C.). Whether you moved, worked in multiple states, or have nonresident income, we’ll get every jurisdiction right and coordinate it with your federal return.

Extra states are available as an add-on. We’ll quote before we file.

Documents

What We Need for State Filing

For all state returns

  • Copy of your finalized (or draft) federal return
  • W-2s showing state wages and tax withheld
  • 1099-NEC/MISC/K with state information (if any)
  • 1099-INT/DIV/B statements for investment income
  • State 1095-A (Marketplace) if applicable
  • Prior-year state returns (if you filed last year)
  • Dates you lived/worked in each state during the year
  • Local city/county tax forms (where applicable)

Situations to call out

  • Moved states: provide move-in/move-out dates, new address
  • Multi-state W-2s: include all W-2 pages
  • Remote work: tell us where work was physically performed
  • Nonresident income: K-1s, rental income, or 1099-K tied to another state
  • City/School district taxes: e.g., NYC, Philly, OH municipalities

Upload everything through the secure Client Portal and we’ll sort the resident, part-year, and nonresident rules for you.

Common cases

How We Handle Multi-State & Special Rules

Part-Year Resident

Split-year filing when you move

  • We allocate income and withholding between states by date and source.
  • We claim credits to avoid double-taxation where allowed.
Nonresident Returns

Income sourced to another state

  • We file nonresident returns for W-2, gig, K-1, or rental income in that state.
  • Your home state may grant a credit for taxes paid elsewhere.
Remote & Hybrid Work

Different rules by state

  • Some states tax based on where you work, others where you live.
  • We review “convenience of employer” and reciprocity agreements.
City & Local Taxes

Local filings when required

  • We prepare city/school district returns when applicable (e.g., NYC, OH).
  • We’ll tell you exactly what is needed and when it’s due.
Help & links

Useful State Resources

Identity Verification

  • Some states use ID.me. Watch for state emails/letters.
  • Upload any verification letters to your portal.

Payment & Vouchers

  • We’ll provide e-pay links or printable vouchers when required.
