Do you as an interstate owner op pay income taxes to multiple states? If you lease on to someone, is your income then considered to be all from one state? If you have your own corporation in one state and lease on to a carrier in a different state, which state do you pay taxes to?

I live in Ky and am leased to a carrier based in Ca. I pay state income tax to Ky only. My local city also has an occupational tax, but I only am required to pay a very small fraction as the majority of my work is done outside the city limits. I have heard of some local jurisdictions trying to get truckers delivering in their locals to pay some income tax there, but I have not encountered that.

I think you should pay the taxes just for one state, but I'm not entirely sure. If you need a more concrete response, I think you should talk with a professional or a platform that can calculate that for you. I have multiple sources of income, and every time I calculate my taxes via paystub generator. It eases my work and allows me to have a specific number. The only thing I do is insert all the required pieces of information needed and verify if everything is correct. Maybe this might help you too.

I get paid every 2 weeks, with these deductions coming out of my paycheck:
1) federal income taxes
2) state income taxes
3) Social Security taxes
4) Medicare taxes
5) company benefits: health & dental insurance, short & long term disability insurance
NOTE:
1) When my taxes get deducted out of my paycheck, my state income taxes go to the state of Kansas, where I live & work in, NOT the state of Illinois, where my company has it's corporate headquarters at.
2) When payday arrives every 2 weeks, I use "direct deposit", in which my paycheck is directly deposited into my checking account, (electronically), at a local credit union. It is both convenient & safe to do it this way.
3) Direct deposit - Wikipedia

Generally you only pay taxes to the state in which you reside. It's called the Amtrak Act and applies to Nonresident employees of motor, rail, air and water carriers. There are a few caveats but @inandoutoftrouble detailed in nicely.

New York state requires payment of taxes for income earned in NY. Professional sports players have to pay if the game is played in NY. I have no idea if truck drivers have a specific exemption. Rush Limbaugh use to comment about he had to pay income taxes in NY when he broadcast a show there, even though he lived in Fla.
