If i changed my state residency last year how do i file taxes with both states?

I went from being an Ohio resident to Texas resident in Oct 06 do i just need to file with both states? I would think so. Ohio taxes where as Texas does not. I usually do my taxes my self but wasnt sure about this one any help would be great!

Hopefully the link below will be of some help. Otherwise, try calling the Ohio Department of Revenue at 1-800-282-1780.

You will have to file returns for both states.



If I were in your situation I would pay to have a professional help me with my taxes.



Usually the income is pro-rated and you only claim the income earned in the state while you lived in the state.
If you are talking about state income taxes, you should file with both states if taxes were taken out of your wages by each state. I would contact a CPA in your area and ask them about it. You could also contact the tax or revenue offices in each state and ask.
The loveliest thing is that the State of Texas doesn't have State Taxes.....Yeah! But you were an Ohio resident over half the year, so ...Do a partial year Ohio and you are good to go...
