Relocation from NY to VA

[user17730676989]

I moved from New York to Virginia in May of 2025.   I have a W2 from my NY employer for the 5 months.   I went on Medicare in June of 2025.    Do I need to file 2 seperate filings (one for NY and 1 for VA)?

It depends, you would have to file a Part Year New York return and a Part-Year Virginia return if you meet the filing thresholds.  Starting Medicare by itself would not affect your requirement to file a tax return, you would have to look at your income.  

NEW YORK

You must file a part-year New York return if you had any income during your resident period and your New York adjusted gross income Federal amount column exceeds your New York standard deduction.
