Re: Double taxation... said by oliphant:This is a VERY slippery slope. The SC should have taken this case as I think it affects interstate commerce (and thus is a Constitutional issue). But there is also nothing stopping New York and Tennessee from establishing a reciprocal tax agreement that is similar to the one that exists between New York and New Jersey. No federal action would be needed, and since there is no federal law that directly addresses the issue, the Court technically did the right thing by not acting. Without a reciprocal agreement, you end up paying taxes to both states.

It's still an interstate commerce issue...just because 2 states agree to rape their citizens with F-ed tax rules doesn't make it legal.

Mount Airy, MD | said by oliphant:It's still an interstate commerce issue...just because 2 states agree to rape their citizens with F-ed tax rules doesn't make it legal. Unfortunately it is legal. For example, as I mentioned in another post, Pennsylvania has a reciprocal tax agreement with New Jersey which allows for Pennsylvanians working in New Jersey to pay only Pennsylvania income taxes and vice versa. However, Pennsylvania has no such agreement with Delaware. Pennsylvanians who work in Delaware end up paying income tax to both Pennsylvania and Delaware as a result. Unless the Federal government passes a law and says that this is illegal, it will continue to happen. The Supreme Court does not have the legal authority to "invoke" such a law when one does not exist.
