If one is employed by an entity
in a different state other than
his own, the ‘company’ is going
to figure taxes and deductions
based on where that particular
office is located. It’s up to
the employee to forecast how much
state tax would be owed.
Therefore, the state deducts
taxes owed, no matter what
state the employee lives in.
Working in Texas, reside in
New Mexico? You would still
have to pay the state taxes.
Did this for a number of years
as a contractor. It’s called
plan ahead.
This wasn’t all that difficult
to figure out.
What gave me the most hassle
were local sheriff’s wanting
to know why I hadn’t changed
my license plate after 90 days
of living in their state.
This is why it’s so interesting.
Us Brits voted for Brexit and then suddenly instead of seeing a bonfire of regulation and the greater regulatory freedom pledged, the red tape went through the roof. With devolution in the UK there’s even more complexity.
If we had fifty states doing WFH stuff differently instead of only 4 (or, 4 + the bailiwicks + the EU) it’d be totally unmanageable.
COVID tactical solutions kept it simple but now the machinery of overregulation is back with a vengeance. Small businesses are utterly drowning in pointless nonsense that larger firms can avoid simply by creating a new head office somewhere else.
