Question About W-2/1099 Forms and State Taxes After Relocation

Forum|Forum|4 months ago

Hi Everyone,

I recently (Q3/2025) relocated from Texas to New Jersey. While in Texas, I worked for Uber/Lyft (ridesharing) and also had W-2 employment. After moving to New Jersey, I updated my mailing address with my previous employers.

When I received my W-2 and 1099 (from Uber and Lyft), they all list my New Jersey address. Should I be concerned about this? Texas has no state income tax, but New Jersey does. Does the address on these forms affect state taxes, or is it just for mailing purposes?

I just want to make sure I report everything correctly in TurboTax.

Thank you!

Your address on those tax forms has no impact on which state the income belongs (was earned in). The only purpose it serves is to identify where to deliver the mail. For a W-2, income is identified with a state in boxes 15, 16, & 17. However, that is not always accurate. You will probably have to allocate income to New Jersey according to where it was earned in the state tax section of the program.
