Moved from New Hampshire to Nevada Mid-Year: Which State Tax Returns Do You File?

Residency still matters for plenty of things after a move like this — domicile, vehicle registration, in-state tuition — but state income tax is not among them, because neither New Hampshire nor Nevada levies one.
What you file
There is nothing to file in either New Hampshire or Nevada 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 New Hampshire to Nevada mid-year. Do I have to file in both states?
Nothing changes at state level. Moving from New Hampshire to Nevada 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.
How do I split my income between New Hampshire and Nevada?
By when you received it, measured against the date your domicile actually changed. Income received while you were a New Hampshire resident belongs on the New Hampshire return and income received afterwards on the Nevada return. Keep evidence of the move date — a lease, a closing statement, a licence issue date.
