Re: Pickpockets
double tax?
So a Truck Driver that hauls on the east cost has to file in every state? (- taken to the extreme if NY can get away with it every other state will try)
He's not going to make any more..
This is just Ludicrous

| Technically yes. If money is earned within a state, it is their right by law to collect tax. Truck drivers have an interesting time then. I would like to hear from someone or someone who knows something about this.
Not pickpocketing, it's whining.

Well, I know some "Consultants" who travel around the country; working in this state an that; for say 2 weeks at a time. Would you beleive they have to file in each state they worked in?
Honest; it's what's happening..... this is just getting out of hand.
I know someone that last year had to file in 15 states... all with difering rules .... rates and everything else; makes it almost impossible to do your own taxes because it's such a mess. |

I am no accountant (I do work for an accounting firm), but it is my understanding, that if you work more than 100 hours in a state you are to file a tax return in that state.
So no a truck driver driving through a state or a consultant that works in multiple states for 2 weeks (assuming 80 hours) does not have to file in each state. |

| I thought the rules were more than a year. My company is in the middle of a large third-party software package and the software company cannot allow their on-site consultants to be at our site for more than a year. (They don't live here. They fly home every week-end.) We recently lost the consultants who were getting close to being on-site for a year. I thought the reasoning was that more than a year and they have to file a return in our state.
Each state could be different. Perhaps that's the rules in MO.
Perhaps it's time for this:

NFL Players have to pay taxes for each (either)City or State they play in. Maybe that explains why their salaries are so high...lol

Interstate drivers are exempt from this type of taxation. By virtue of the fact they are engaged in interstate commerce, the Feds don't allow this.
In the case of the programmer, he should tell them to go pound sand and find a good lawyer to fight this. |

said by Mike  :Technically yes. If money is earned within a state, it is their right by law to collect tax. But what is the definition of in? Telemarketers make out of state calls and earn commission from sales to out of state customers. Do they have to pay taxes in those states?

So that means since the company I work for is based in FL where they don't pay State Income tax, I can stop paying WI taxes................
NY needs to find another method of squeezing their residents and stop bothering people who don't live in their state with this B.S. |

said by gpancner :Do professional sport players pay tax in all of the states they play in? Actually, in some states they do. Some states like California and Illinois have pro players pay taxes on the income they derive when performing their services in the state.
So when a player earns 100,000 a game and they play a 4 game homestand, they will have to pay taxes on the 400,000 they earned in that state.
There was a big fuss over this when Michael Jordan signed his last contract with the Chicago Bulls. States with NBA teams started passing sports taxes right away and Illinois threatened a retaliatory & regressive law in return.
When the news makes light of some players 'big' new contract in the millions, they neglect to tell you just how much goes to the open hands of each state collecting. |
