If you received any income on Form 1099-NEC or 1099-K, that gets reported on Schedule C as self-employed income; even if you worked with a large company such as Lyft or Uber.   The good thing about earning "1099 income" as opposed to W-2 wages, is that you get to deduct all your ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred while carrying out this line of work: learn more.    On the other hand, you do have to pay both the employee and employer's share of withholding taxes, known as self-employment taxes. Often this requires making estimated tax payments throughout the year.

Since you moved to Virginia with the intent to live there permanently, you are considered a Part-Year Resident, regardless of the 183-day threshold. Virginia only taxes you on income you received while you were a resident of Virginia, so just the stock sales that occurred after your move in August will be taxed at the state level.

You file as a part year resident. Your report all your income for the entire year.  Then you allocate each piece of income as either VA source or not VA.  VA will use a ratio of your VA source income to your total income to determine your VA  tax.   Only the gains from the stock sales that occurred after the move will be VA source income.

@ johnson6937 wrote:  Louisiana form where do I enter prepaid taxes? Turbo Tax does not ask for prepaids for 2025? By "prepaids", are you referring to Louisiana state estimated tax payments you made toward 2025 taxes?   If so, state estimated taxes are entered on the Federal side of the interview.  I know that's not intuitive.   Here's a way to get there in Online TurboTax:   With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments. Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit. NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.
