Hello -
Moved from a non-state-income-tax state to a state-income-tax middle of the year last year 2024.
A big part of our compensation at work is in the form of bonuses. They're paid mid-way through the following quarter.
I moved states middle of July. My bonus for April, May, and June was paid out in August.
Let's say my total W2 income for the new state was $100,000, but $15,000 of that was the bonus FOR the previous 3 months, just paid out after i moved
If I understand the way the process works, the question "How much of the $100,000 did you earn while living or working in state-x" -- I'd be able to honestly put $85,000, right? Because the bonus was paid out after I moved, but for the time period prior to the move?
want to make sure i'm doing this the honest way. the income, while paid after i made the move, was 'earned' prior to the move
