Mobile Workforce
Updated January 2024
Income tax withholding and reporting requirements vary from state to state creating complexity and a compliance burden on both employees working in multiple states and employers withholding taxes for employees working in multiple states.
The issue
Mobile workforce legislation would reduce the compliance burden and increase the efficiency of administration by creating a 30-day safe harbor for the filing requirements in states with an income tax withholding requirement. An individual working outside their home state for 30 days or less would no need to file multiple state income tax returns but would simply file a return in their home state.
Why you should care
Uniform withholding requirements reduce complexity, reduce the compliance cost for taxpayers and administrators and increase the ease of filing.
What you can do
Contact your legislators and ask them to support Mobile Workforce legislation.
