Hey everyone. Just another question from a newbie:
In the world of long haul trucking, what determines that you're still employed by your home state? For example, if employed by Werner, they're based out of Nebraska and I live in California. Would this be an issue when filing taxes or in any other legal situation?
Or does it not make any difference? Maybe I'm overthinking this.

I live in Nebr. & some of my friends live in Ia. When i worked for Tyson Foods, the people who live out of state had to figure their Nebr. taxes, the company stopped taking them out. The same sitution may apply to you. I would ask.
elusive1 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the response. I'm just confused about what state I'll be paying taxes for. I live in CA, work all over!
-
the best way to answer your question would be to call a tax attorney & find out.

You pay taxes from your home state. It does not matter where the truck company is.
A client worked for a Missouri company and lived in Illinois. They did not withhold tax for Illinois, so he always owed at the end of the year. He later moved to Texas and now pays no state tax.Lilbit Thanks this. -
Ca. is your home state, that's where you pay tax's. The employer will withold for Ca.

Not always true on the withholding.
The companies should withhold, but if they have not registered with the state or do not want to, they do not do withholding. -
i just got off the phone with the recruiter from werner that ive been speaking with, she said not all companies withold the state taxes but they do, so she says.
-
Werner does, at least on the return I did for a friend who worked there from Illinois.
