It may but mostly likely won't unless you're a huge company.

I hired a bunch of people outside the US and it's not a problem. Use Deel and hire them as contractors. Make the contractors fill out W8BENs. Don't let the HR folks and lawyers scare you - they don't understand risk vs reward mentality of a startup founder.

Outside the US is a bit easier. How would you hire an out of state employee IN the US who moves to a different state ? You will need to register your business in that state then. Deal/remote.com don't help with that.

Already had that happen. Employee moved out of NY to FL. Did nothing except categorizing him as a FL resident in our HR system. Did not have to form a new business in FL or register as a foreign entity there. Employee lowered his taxes because he is no longer paying NY taxes. Great for everyone!

"Did not have to form a new business in FL"

You may want to double check this. May be your HR System filed stuff on your company's behalf but you absolutely need to have a setup in the state where your employees work and that includes Florida.

Unless he meets very specific criteria he may still owe taxes.
