I'm not sure I understand how that even works with larger companies. I live in MA but if I lived in NH, I'd only be working for my company in MA in the sense that it's the closest office. Company HQ is in NC and I work a lot with people all over the world. I haven't read all the background but surely MA doesn't say someone owes MA income tax because they could theoretically commute 2 hours to an office there. ADDED: So I guess (although it's not super-clear) that it's a matter of being officially assigned to an office and maybe going in semi-regularly. Presumably if someone is 100% officially remote at a company with many offices, it wouldn't apply. https://andersen.com/pressroom/telecommuters-beware-of-state... |

The you'd be surprised what certain states would say, do, and compose in their legal briefs to justify extracting as much money as possible.
Also IANAL, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.
Presumably, there could be some kind of test. If someone lives in NH but is 100% WFH, he may be subject to MA income tax under the following standard:
1) If the company is headquartered or incorporated in MA
2) If the work done is provided (a) to directly benefit operations of aforementioned company that are affiliated with a location in MA or (b) to be sold/provided to third party legal person(s) for which business operations /purchasing/selling would be done in MA. (i.e a business/service nexus)
