Wages paid in different state from residence

[wyodad]

I live in Wyoming and worked for a North Carolina based company with office in Colorado - where I physically worked out of. I had Colorado income tax withheld as well as Colorado FMLA from Oct 2022 through August 2024, when I retired. I filed regular fed returns with CO state during these years.

My questions: 

1. Did I miss anything by just doing a regular filing
2. Anything I need to be aware of for this year with the retirement
3. Would it be best to have a TT expert not only complete 2024 return, but look at any amending of 2022 & 2023

Greatly appreciate input on this,

1. Regular filing should mean a nonresident Colorado return. Which is correct. CO collects tax based on the income earned in CO.

2. Colorado does not consider retirement income from CO as a CO source of income so you will not need to file a tax return in future years. For the transition year, you will file CO for just the wages earned. See CO source income.

3. You are always welcome to have an expert review the years but I don't know what you actually did - how you filed. If you filed nonresident CO returns, you should be fine.

Congratulations on retiring!
