I’ve never been posed with this situation, so I’m asking some of you guys and gals here who may already know the answer to my question. I’m being presented with a remote admin job that would allow me to work out of my home as an employee of a company on W2. The actual location of the company for which services will be performed is in VA, but the company that would be paying me is located in NC. Would I, being a NY resident, be required to pay any non resident taxes to VA for performing work outside of my home state, even though I’d actually be working out
of my home?
I found the following information regarding a proposed bill to offer telecommuter tax relief to those living outside of NY but performing telecommuter work in NY, but it doesn’t address the reverse situation.

I urge you all to support this bill because it’s not fair to be double taxed if you’re not physically present in the state that work is being performed in. The problem with our tax laws is that they never took technology into account that would allow tech workers to work remotely.
