I worked my last 10 yrs for an Ohio based co., while living in NC.

only paid NC income tax, no Ohio

 

Taxes are paid, or not, based on residency.

Many people commute from Vancouver, WA (no income tax) to Portland area (High taxes).

Then make significant purchases are made in OR for no sales tax.

 

I'd ask somebody who knows the laws of California first. Here in NY, if you work in either of the 5 boroughs of New York or the city of Yonkers, there is a city income tax withheld. I doubt that a trucking company would be based in a dense mega-city like NY, but it might be possible.

 

you pay state on the state you live in

 

You can get all kinds of confused reading state regulations on income tax. You should see all of them for Colorado non residents. For OTR truck drivers. None of it applies. OTR truck drivers pay only in their permanent main residence state.

 

Where I work they told me, taxes are taken out based on my terminal location. Then they remit it to my home state. Something about since they don’t have a terminal in pa. Naturally I wasn’t gonna be based in ny and have to wait to get my money back. Ny has a higher tax rate then pa. So I went with our nc terminal as my base. Nc is about the same as pa. That’s how I understand it.
