State taxes and residency

I guess they figure x works in NM but lives in Texas but y works in Texas and lives in NM. Y doesn't file a state return because no taxes were deducted whereas x does because his payroll check has the deductions. Sort of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

 

I know if I travel up to Thomasville, GA to work, I have to pay GA state tax even though I live across the border. I think it's called a non resident tax form and you pay taxes on GA income only. It's ####.

 

And to top it off, GA residents working in FL still pay state income taxes on those earnings.

 

yes that i knew. My dad retired as a police officer in Florida. He now lives in NC and they tax him on his Fl retirement. BS

 

Texas gets it's money one way or another. Our sales tax rate is 8.25% and our property taxes can be pretty stiff.

 

Nope... The state tax is due where it's earned... Now some states have agreements with neighboring states that income earned in the state worked in can be claimed in the state you lived in... Like Illinois and Indiana... But if there is no agreement ( reciprocity ?) then you own the taxes in the state it was earned.

Like VA has no agreement with NC... So next year when I move to Charlotte I will still be filing a State Tax for VA even though I live in NC.

And neither have agreements with Florida.

Now I am a Company Driver... If you "lived" in Florida, or Texas, and worked from there and had sources of income from other States, like an O/O or 1099 Driver... Then that may be and probably is different.

But my W-2 filed from VA says I have State Income Tax due to VA as an Out of State Employee.

Some here might not be filing in that manner but the State is still expecting the Income Tax Revenues.

Does Alaska have a State Income Tax?
If they don't, then it's moot.
Both AK and FL might be no state tax states.
Or were you independent? Or O/O?
If so, then you were not an employee in Alaska?

 

Don't ask drivers legal or tax questions! Go to the source directly....why trust second or third hand information? As you can see from the discrepancies in the responses...everyone has an "opinion" but everyone isn't qualified to give a legal, binding answer.

 

There might be some form but I assume you would file in the State the money was earned in and where you lived would be moot.

Some laws may have changed but States have been doing similar things for years.

Like IL/IN... They had an agreement to let the employees that lived in one State and worked in the other to file from where they lived.... Since money would theoretically be flowing in both directions.

So since they had an agreement to do so then one can believe the normal state without said agreement would be that the tax is due in the state it was earned and not where you lived.

 

There is no "double tax"... He, as I did, earned the money in one state and filed/paid taxes to that state... Residency in both cases is moot.
