If I went to college in my home state and got the 150 credits there then graduated will the 150 credits count in a different state if I permanently reside to the state I go to right after college?

you will have to confirm education and exam requirements where you want to apply to sit for exams and where you want to be licensed. assuming both are the same state, you will have to be sure your 150 meets that states's requirements and what if any of the 150 must be graduate level courses.
best place to start is your chosen state's accountancy board or nasba. you can also check for reciprocity between the two states you are talking about to see if licensure in one will be considered for the other if you go that route.
keep in mind once you are approved to sit for exams by a state you can take them anywhere they are offered but the results will be returned to the state that approved you.
talk to both state boards to find out all you need to make decision.

Your 150 credits should count in the new state as well; however, that doesn't mean they'll meet all the requirements of the new state. For example, the old state might only require 27 credits in accounting and the new one might require 30, so even if all 150 credits count for the new state, you might still be 3 accounting credits short in the new state. One state that I've heard of (I think it was Texas?) had a specific list of schools that they accepted credits from and it looked like it would be a hassle to get credits from any other school accepted; however, most states accept them from any regionally accredited school, so if you took credits in Montana and wanted to get licensed in North Carolina that shouldn't be an issue (just picking 2 random states lol). Just may have to see if the specific courses meet the specific requirements.
