Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi jennifervphan,

 

NY, like most states with a state income tax, taxes income earned in the state whether you are a resident or not. So unfortunately, based on the circumstances you described, since you are still working in NY you still pay NY taxes on the income received from that job. 

 

By relocating to WA, a state with no income tax, you now would not be liable to pay taxes on any other types of income you received from WA sources or from other states with no tax. But that does not get you out of paying NY taxes as long as you continue to work in NY. 

 

Sorry that probably isn't the answer you were hoping for, but at least you know what to expect now and can plan accordingly.
