A taxpayer moved out of a state in August 2019 and claimed residency in a new state. After COVID-19, the taxpayer filed for unemployment in the former state, which paid the benefits and withheld both federal and state taxes. Both the former and new states tax unemployment benefits. Is there a filing benefit? Are the benefits deemed to be 'earned' within the nonresident state? The resident state taxes worldwide income, so the benefits are taxable in the new, resident state.
