Moved from Nevada to Florida Mid-Year: Which State Tax Returns Do You File?
Answer
No part-year returns are required. Because neither Nevada nor Florida taxes personal income, this move leaves your state tax position exactly where it was: at zero, before and after.
Last verified
Both ends of this move sit outside the state income tax system, so the tax year does not need splitting. Nothing about the date of the move affects a state return, because there is no state return.
What you file
There is nothing to file in either Nevada or Florida on these wages. Your federal return is unaffected — the federal government taxes the income whatever the states do.

Questions people actually ask
I moved from Nevada to Florida mid-year. Do I have to file in both states?
No part-year returns are required. Because neither Nevada nor Florida taxes personal income, this move leaves your state tax position exactly where it was: at zero, before and after.
How do I split my income between Nevada and Florida?
By when you received it, measured against the date your domicile actually changed. Income received while you were a Nevada resident belongs on the Nevada return and income received afterwards on the Florida return. Keep evidence of the move date — a lease, a closing statement, a licence issue date.
