State tax filing

It sounds like the W-2 that says "Total State" in Box 15 and Box 16 is blank, could mean that the state you moved to doesn't have State income tax. 

 

Only eight states have no personal income tax:

  • Wyoming
  • Washington
  • Texas
  • Tennessee
  • South Dakota
  • Nevada
  • Florida
  • Alaska

If this is true, you would only need to file a state tax return for the income you received while living in that state that has state income tax.
