Do I Need to File Taxes in Two States? In general, if you’re working remotely you’ll only have to file and pay income taxes in the state where you live. So when you live in your resident state, but the non-resident state is listed on your W-2 form, you’ll have to file two tax returns, one for each state.
Are you taxed by where you live or work?
Your income tax liability may change based on the state you’re in, but you should expect to file taxes for both states: one return as a resident for the state where you live and a separate return as a nonresident for the state where you work.
Can a remote employee be considered an employee in another state?
Your remote worker will be considered an employee in his or her state of residence, not the state where your company is based. Work being performed remotely counts as time worked. Compensate remote nonexempt employees for all hours worked, including work performed at home or another remote location, under the FLSA.
