I lived in Wisconsin my whole life and moved to Japan for work in October 2021. What would I select for the State of Residence? Just Wisconsin would mean that I lived in Wisconsin for the entirety of 2021. More than one state would not apply since I moved abroad and not to another state. I made money in Wisconsin, but never lived there also wouldn't apply since I did live there until October?

You would select Wisconsin as your State of Residence and file Wisconsin Form 1NPR, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return

"...If you are a nonresident or part-year resident of Wisconsin and your Wisconsin gross income (or the combined gross income of you and your spouse) is $2,000 or more, you must file a Form 1NPR, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return. The Form 1NPR and instructions can be downloaded from our website.

Gross income means all income (before deducting expenses) reportable to Wisconsin which you received in the form of money, property, or services. It does not include items that are exempt from Wisconsin income tax, such as U.S. government interest.

For additional filing requirements, please see page 4 of the Form 1NPR instructions.

Note: Even if you do not have to file, if you had Wisconsin income tax withheld from your wages or you paid estimated tax, you should file a Wisconsin return since this is the only way to get a refund".
