Moving & State Taxes
A job move can change how your equity is taxed. These guides focus on timing, residency, and the questions to ask before you pack.
Tax rules change. Federal and state rates, brackets, and reporting rules are updated regularly. This site is not always current. check dates below and verify with official sources or a qualified tax professional.
State sourcing rules may depend on facts and timing
Which state taxes RSU income depends on residency, work location, grant terms, and vest date, not just where you live on December 31. Day-count splits and flat-rate estimates on this site are planning tools only, not legal sourcing determinations.
See something outdated?
Tax rules change faster than websites update. If a rate or date looks wrong, let us know.
