“He’s a resident of Utah. How can New York tax him?”
Ive heard Rush talk about this, IIRC Rush says NY taxes him every time he enters the state or some such. Just like during the superbowl, NJ taxed the players on what they made for the game because the got paid in their state............NY/NJ = greedy bastardz
Where is sundance hq
All states treat professional athletes that way. Professional athletes have some thick tax returns because they work is so many different states.
That said, NY is aggresive. Currently fighting a multi-year tax bill with them. They just made up numbers and sent a bill even though we do not do business in NY.
We had one employee who lived in NY but worked in PA. For that privilege they say we owe them $20 grand.
CA taxes sport players from other States whenever they play a game there.

This is why so many corporations are moving their headquarters to Ireland or other off shore locations. The tax implications for people who can afford to hire $500/hour lawyers and tax accounts are just too much to ignore
This is along the same lines as John Kerry keeping his new sailing yacht in RI and Mass coming after him for the taxes they thought he owned them. They try this with everybody.
My father in law about ten years back used to keep his sailboat in Boston/Charlestown harbor in the winter. This was NOT a big boat. It was a 30’. The state of Mass tried to say he was a part time resident because he kept his boat there 6 months a year.
apparently if you visit NY for a day and do work, you owe them income taxes for that day or something
