Does Greenback Prepare U.S. State Tax Returns for Expats With Continuing State Ties?

Yes. Greenback prepares U.S. state tax returns at $185 per state as an add-on to your federal return preparation. Many expats still owe a state return even after moving abroad, depending on the state they last resided in and their continuing ties to that state.

Common state-residency triggers that keep a state filing obligation alive:

• Identification ties: A driver’s license, voter registration, or vehicle registration in your old state
• Property ownership: U.S. property in that state
• Domicile signals: Bank accounts, mailing addresses, or family ties that suggest continued domicile
• Future plans: Plans to return to that state in the future

Some states (notably California, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Virginia) are known for aggressive residency rules and may require continued filings even after years abroad. Other states (Texas, Florida, Washington, and Nevada) have no state income tax, so no return is required. Your Greenback accountant evaluates your state-filing exposure when preparing your federal return.
