at some point in time we will have to start to pay down the federal debt …… giving away stimulous packages have costs..... We are borrowing trillions of dollars.
Oh yes we do, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone in Washington, so it must be OK.
Not true, unless things have changed.
Worked for my oldest brother in his truck repair shop in Sherman, TX in the late '70s. I called OK tax commission, and they informed me that I DID have to pay OK state income tax on my Texas earnings.
The lady said that I live in OK and had to pay OK state income tax. The fact that I chose to work in another state didn't matter.
You have to file in both states, usually, but you get to deduct one from the other, so you're not paying 'double' state income tax, you're usually paying the equivalent of the higher of the two. Or something along those lines.
TR is absolutely right. That has always been the way I have had to do it as a field contract Geologist. Sometimes I have had to file for 7 different states in a year. It's a pain in the a$$, but that's the way it works.
I worked as a process consultant for over 20 years and worked it many different states and countries. I never, ever paid any income taxes to any of them, and Texas has no state tax so I didn't even file any state returns. In some cases I might work in the same place every week for more than a year 5 days a week for every week.
But, I think this is a different situation entirely. Even if in any other case people who have to pay these taxes, which they may have had to, I would figure out a way to not make them pay after I got on my knees and begged them to come bail me out ! What a total load of it !

Well, the volunteers did go to NYC to aid the Coronavirus situation and some Nurses received $100.00 per hour which isn't chicken feed. But I agree, they shouldn't have to pay NYC taxes if they aren't a resident. $100 for 8 hours =$800.00 per day X a forty hour work week (and I'm sure they worked more than forty) but even a forty hour week =$4,000 per week X 4 weeks = $16,000 per month. But they still endangered their lives-some did contact the COvid19 and they shouldn't have to pay New York taxes. That is foolish under the circumstances. Without the volunteers NYC would have been in a real mess.
