Would you like to get taxed on 200% of your income? That’s the plight that telecommuters realistically face thanks to states like New York. This state believes it has the right to tax telecommuters for New York companies as if they resided in the state full time. As we’ve mentioned before, a Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act needs to be passed to stop this tax nightmare.

Live in California and work for a New York company by internet connection, for example, and you could be in a world of hurt. California will properly consider you a resident and want state taxes on your full income. But then New York will apply a charming thing called the “convenience of the employer? rule and demand resident income taxes on 100% of your income too, on the grounds that you were a New York resident in disguise for all those long telecommuting hours.
