Do you have remote employees? If so, do you know what tax implications work into the mix from remote work? In some cases, remote employees are working from homes that are in a different state than the one in which their employers are located. This is especially true in smaller states and in large metropolitan areas located near state lines, like Kansas City. If your company is growing and expanding into other states, or if you have employees who live across state lines, several considerations can help you anticipate and manage the state and local tax (SALT) implications. Read this post from my colleagues Susan Day and Jason Higgins for more information on your tax implications. #remotework #tax #smallbusiness

Remote – or “virtual” – work has become ubiquitous since the pandemic sent millions of people home to work from dining room tables, couches and home offices. In some cases, employees are working from homes that are in a different state than the one in which their employers are located. This is especially true in smaller states and in large metropolitan areas located near state lines, like Kansas City. If your company is growing and expanding into other states, or if you have employees who live across state lines, several considerations can help you anticipate and manage the state and local tax (SALT) implications.

As remote work becomes more ubiquitous, tax law and other regulations will have to adapt. Here's an example of how some states produce a "double taxation" problem for remote workers.🔍 🏠 Remote Work's Tax Implications: With the surge in remote work since COVID-19, employees face new tax challenges. The location of both the worker and the employer can dictate tax liabilities, potentially leading to complex multi-state tax situations. 💼 Dual Taxation Risk: In most cases, working across state lines won't lead to double taxation due to credit systems. However, in states with 'convenience of the employer' rules, like New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania, remote workers might face taxes in both their state of residence and their employer’s state. 📊 Understanding 'Convenience of the Employer' Rules: These rules allow certain states to tax non-resident employees of in-state companies. This can lead to scenarios where remote workers owe income tax to a state they don’t physically work in. 🔄 Reciprocity Agreements and Credits: Some states have agreements that simplify tax obligations based on residency, not work location. These reciprocity agreements, along with tax credits, help prevent double taxation. For example, a Maryland resident working remotely for a Pennsylvania company only needs to file taxes in Maryland, thanks to a reciprocity agreement. However, without such agreements, workers might need to file tax returns in both states but can often claim a tax credit to avoid double taxation. 🔑 Takeaway: Taxes can get complicated, but we need to understand the commitments in the short-run, and serve as a force for good to influence reforms that promote innovation and well-being longer run; employers should pay attention to these reciprocal agreements! #RemoteWork #TaxSeason2024 #StateIncomeTax #Telecommuting https://lnkd.in/eT3iZEap
