I was a part resident in one state, worked and paid state taxes, then moved to a different state with the same job. Why do I owe excessive taxes in my old state?

No one can see your tax returns, and we do not know what states you are referring to.    If you moved during the year, you need to prepare part-year returns for each state---if each state has a state income tax.

Income you earn by working in State A is taxable by State A, even if you are no longer a resident of State A.  An exception would be if States A & B have tax reciprocity with each other.

 

As @xmasbaby0 said, we can give you more specific answers if you tell us the two states involved.

@TomD8 I moved from Oregon to Alabama. It’s my first time moving to a different state and I didn’t think it would affect my taxes like this!

@xmasbaby0 Updated! I apologize for the lack of detail 😬
