Moved from Nevada to Texas Mid-Year: Which State Tax Returns Do You File?
Answer
Nothing changes at state level. Moving from Nevada to Texas is a move between two states with no personal income tax, so there is no part-year return in either direction and nothing to prorate. Your federal return is unaffected by the move.
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 Texas 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 Texas mid-year. Do I have to file in both states?

How do I split my income between Nevada and Texas?
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 Texas return. Keep evidence of the move date — a lease, a closing statement, a licence issue date.
