It's a bit of a mix. For the part of the year when you were living and working in your old city, you'll typically owe taxes there. Once you move, you'll start owing taxes in your new city.

However, the specifics can vary based on local tax laws. Some cities have tax agreements with each other, and some states don't have local income taxes at all.

Also, remember that moving expenses can be deductible if you're moving for work and meet certain conditions. For example, your new workplace needs to be at least 50 miles farther from your old home than your old job location was. And you need to work full-time for at least 39 weeks in the first 12 months after you move.

So, keep track of your moving expenses and your work situation. It could save you some money at tax time!
