A recently introduced bi-partisan Senate bill entitled the Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act would require an employee to work within a state for at least 30 days before becoming subject to that state’s income tax. This would be helpful to employers deploying workers to other states on a temporary (less than 30 days) basis. As the AICPA says: Having a uniform national standard for nonresident state and local income taxation, withholding and filing requirements will simplify and enhance compliance with all of the different state and local tax laws and reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on businesses and their employees.” #IdeaoftheDay
