The primary question is when did your employer start withholding taxes for your new state?
If they started withholding after Jan. 1st (or you moved to a state that has no income taxes), then you can start the New Year as a state resident.
If they started withholding for the new state in December, you are going to have to file two state returns. At that point, you might set up your moving date on the day they withheld for the new state.
