I am at a loss here... All the states involved offer tax breaks for taxes paid in other states. The issue is the state collection of local and county taxes which do not offer those credits. Can SCOTUS mandate local tax law?

I’m thinking that where the SCOTUS will walk is a very fine line and rule that when states collect for local jurisdictions, there must be uniformity across the state and local taxes. Unreasonably complicated differences are an undue burden, and collection of those taxes must be performed by the local tax body.

Another issue is retirement and pension funds earned in one state , while you have residency in another state.
The 'legislative grace' that has been the norm in the recent past involves 'reciprocity' of non-taxation between the two states on pensions.
The SCOTUS resolution of the Wynne legal case could have much further ramifications on retirees , and people on fixed incomes.
Agreed , this case needs to watched .
