Hi ... I moved to the UK in July 2017 on a work visa. How does that impact my tax return. I only see an option to indicate moving to another state.

If you are a US citizen or green card holder, you must file a US resident return declaring your worldwide income for the calendar year 2017.  Assuming you worked in the UK for the latter part of the tax year, you will need to include any income you received in the UK,  using currency exchange rates into USD.  If you paid tax in the UK  on that income, you would include it as a foreign tax credit to help offset US tax on that same income.
