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

The clean part of this move is that only one return follows it. The part that catches people is the withholding: Oklahoma tax should stop when your residency does, and it often does not without a prompt.

Questions people actually ask
I moved from Oklahoma to Nevada mid-year. Do I have to file in both states?
Nevada asks for nothing. Your last state return is the Oklahoma part-year return covering the months before you moved; after that date Oklahoma has no claim on income from outside the state, and Nevada has no personal income tax to impose.
How do I split my income between Oklahoma and Nevada?
By when you received it, measured against the date your domicile actually changed. Income received while you were a Oklahoma resident belongs on the Oklahoma return and income received afterwards on the Nevada return. Keep evidence of the move date — a lease, a closing statement, a licence issue date.
