Yes, if she moved to a state that taxes pensions and SS you will need to file a return in both states. However, there are several states that do not tax either. If she is in one of those states, you will not need to file.

Wisconsin and Michigan

Wisconsin may tax the pension but not SS. Michigan may exempt them both depending on her situation. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7-238--459647--,00.html">http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7...>
