Remote Workers Unfairly Paying Other States' Income Taxes

You might be in for a bit of a shock if you have been working remotely due to this whole lockdown thing. Millions of us are going to have a bit of a surprise coming up soon. Many of us have problems, if you work in Maine and you work in Massachusetts, you could have a little bit of a tax problem, but there is a reciprocal agreement that's in place.

So if you had been working in mass and you live in Maine, Okay. I can see that you're driving down to Mass every day, and you're living in Maine. So the reciprocity agreement covers that. But how about if you have never stepped foot in Massachusetts? How about if you started working for a company out of New York or a company out of California?

Did you realize that many of these, all of them, by the way, Democrat administrations are now going to require you to pay state taxes, Connecticut, you name it. All of these it is very concerning to me. And when we get right down to workforces and the fact that this whole lockdown has accelerated this trend of working from home.

And because of that, we've got employers who are letting their workers perform their jobs remotely from home most, if not all, of the time. So, where does illegal nexus tie in? So they're saying, Hey, listen, your employer. And you both knew exactly where you live and work, but the state departments of taxation can have some very different ideas about where here is.
