    If I work for a Trucking Company In Indiana how Is It legal for them to withhold Indiana State Income Tax If I don’t live In Indiana?
    I feel this Is corruption

    Welcome to Tax land.
    If you live say in TN, you work in AR, you pay AR state tax.

    I used to work out of Michigan and they made me pay state income taxes even though I lived in tax free Florida.

    For me the fix was simple..don’t work out of Michigan :)

    Because their company registered in Indiana.
    Find company whos home base will be in Tennessee or Florida and you will not pay state tax

    You will get any tax you paid in a refund when you file for it. You are a non-resident. More hassle doing this, but tally up at years end and see how much they take out. Then decide if you want to file a tax return in In. I've worked for many co's based in another state and I lived in another state. Also, double check that your co. is not witholding taxes for your home state.

    Unless the carrier has a nexus in your state(or any other) it can be a PITA to set up state with-holding only. You can either file exempt or get a refund.
