Best Answer

You file in your state of residence The above is true, but not complete. You always file in your state of residence, and all "intangible" type income (like interest on bank accounts), is considered earned there. Earnings from employment, whether paid as a W-2 or 1099, or on a 1065 as a partner, get taxed where earned. You file everywhere you worked, even for the shortest period of time. Most states will even consider one day of work there, or attending more than a specified number (generally 5 days) at a seminar there, as earning income there. How it works, allocating your earnings away from your state of residence, or specifically marking the situs of the earnings, and taking either a credit for taxes paid other place or removing the income claimed by other places, varies from state to state and circustances.

Can you file your taxes in a different state?

Federal income tax is the same no matter which state you live in or work in. If you worked in PA, you will have to file a state tax return for PA if they have state income taxes. If you live in one state and work in another you may have to file in both states. As a resident on one and a non-resident in the other. If you move in the middle of a calendar year you may have to file in both as a part year resident.

Do railroad workers who work across multiple states have to file for each state?

This depends on how their W-2 form is structured. Generally they will pay state tax based on where they live. I have had clients who had to file several states in one year. It occurs when a person works in different states and receives W-2 forms with State Wages reported in multiple states in the same year. The file in their home state as a resident and in the other states as non-residents. Others may have to file more than one state return if they move. They have to file as a part-year resident in each state that they lived in during the year.


Where to file taxes - living in one state earning in another?

Generally in both states.You file a non-resident state return in the state where you work and a resident return in the state where you live. Almost always, one of the two states lets you claim a credit for taxes paid to the other state. It is usually the state where you live that lets you claim a credit for taxes paid to the state where you work, but in a few cases it is the other way around.Some pairs of states have reciprocal tax agreements, where they agree not to tax each other's residents on wages. But you may still have to file a return in order to get a refund of taxes mistakenly withheld.Caution: If your employer does not withhold taxes for your home state, you may have to file a quarterly estimated tax return with your home state in order to avoid underpayment penalties from your home state.
