Hey all -- hopefully a quick question here...
I worked in VA up to 01/15/04 last year. I became resident in TX on 03/15/04 and I've been living/working here since then.
As far as I know, none of this should affect my federal return, apart from needing to include eligible moving expenses and the fact that my state taxes will be lower now when itemizing my deductions.
But for my VA return am I right that I should basically prorate everything based on the time that I was in VA? In other words, I'd fill out the VA form with my Federal Adjusted Gross Income, Itemized Deductions, Exemptions etc. and "scale" all those numbers by roughly 75/366) before doing the math on them to determine the tax that I should have paid?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!
