You Might Owe Taxes in a State You Don’t Live In
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
Should you have to file a tax return in a state where you babysat for one hour? In 22 states, the answer is technically yes.In this episode of The Deduction, host Kyle Hulehan and co-host Erica York sit down with Katherine Loughead, Director of State Tax Projects at the Tax Foundation, to break down the tangled mess of state nonresident income tax laws — and why they're a growing problem in the remote work era.Katherine walks us through how credits for taxes paid to other states are supposed to prevent double taxation, why "convenience rules" in 8 states can saddle remote workers with two full tax bills, how a wild patchwork of filing thresholds creates confusion for workers and employers alike, and what reforms states should adopt to simplify the system.📄 READ THE FULL PAPER:"Nonresident Income Tax Filing and Withholding Laws by State, 2026"https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/nonresident-income-tax-filing/📄 RELATED: "State Individual Income Taxes on Nonresidents: Remote Work & Hybrid Work"https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/state/state-income-taxes-nonresidents/📄 "How Burdensome Are Your State's Nonresident Income Tax Filing Laws?"
