Many taxpayers temporarily work in states that are not their normal and usual place of residence (aka home state). Complications arise from differing state laws that address how long individuals may work in a state before they are required to pay tax there. The Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act of 2020 (H.R. 5674) and the Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act of 2021 (H.R.429), provide a national standard for workers in multiple states. Both bills exempt earnings of workers who are on temporary assignments away from their place of residence for up to 30 days during a given calendar year. The first originally proposed in January of 2020 but not yet acted upon and the second in January of 2021. As with other legislative agenda items, we'll keep you posted on developments in this area.
