For that remote job, just be careful to check the law first. Some states tax telecommuters. I do not believe California is one of them, but I also do not believe that will last forever since lord knows they need revenue.

All CA has to do is redefine "source" and poof, free money. http://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/manuals/audit/rstm/3000.pdf section 3420 "The critical factor in determining the source of income from personal services is not the residence of the taxpayer, the place where the contract for services is entered into, or the place of payment. It is the place where the services are actually performed" - change that definition, and there goes your sweet telecommuting tax break.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/business/businessspecial2/... is an interesting article about the New York telecommuting tax.

lord knows they need revenue

Or they need to cut spending.

Thanks for the info, I'll check into it. I agree there are lots of complexities here and finding the "lowest resting state" economically is difficult.

Maybe someone should write a program that does this ...
