Partial year tax calculation

[hakeem11701]

I relocated from FL to SC in July of 2025. Due to bonus/raises, the approximately 60% of I and my wife's income for 2025 was earned while residing in FL. Why does the taxable income figure for SC represent our entire 2025 combined earning amount?

For part year residents of SC (which you are), and for the tax year you move, SC has their PY residents file either:

1)  As a full year resident taxing all income.....but allowing you to take a credit for taxes paid to the former state.

or

2)  File a Non-resident tax return for the entire year, and then, during the SC interview, you allocate what sub-portion of your Federal income was earned after moving to SC.

Make sure you are NOT using Option #1, since you get NO credit for income taxes paid to FL since you didn't pay any income taxes to FL.

Make sure you are using Option #2.....and that you have completed the SC income allocation process during the SC interview.
