State and local taxes can change how far your money goes in a new place.

What varies

  • State income tax: some states have none, others have several brackets
  • Sales tax, state and local
  • Property tax, which landlords often pass on in rent
  • Car registration and fees

Moving mid-year

You may need to file a part-year tax return in both states. Check each state's tax agency.
