Examples of accruable items of income are: 1) the unrealized income from an installment sale made while you were a resident; and 2) payments you will receive from a lottery you won while you were a resident. Other items that may be accruable include bonuses (if the amount to be received is fixed and determinable on or before the date of the change of residence) and severance pay (if the amount to be received is fixed and determinable on or before the date of the change of residence).

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
