The Remote Work Tax Challenge
Working for a company in one state while living in another creates complex tax situations.
Convenience of the Employer Rule
Some states (New York, Delaware, Nebraska) tax based on where your employer is located, not where you live. This can result in double taxation.
Credits for Double Taxation
Most states offer credits for taxes paid to other states. You'll file non-resident returns in your employer's state and claim credits on your home state return.
Best Practices
Track days worked in each state, understand reciprocity agreements, and consult a tax professional for multi-state situations.
