Working in 2 different states

Hi, 

I currently work full-time in Utah w-2 and I have an online part time job for a company in Texas. The job that I have in Texas is 100% online, remotely, and 1099 Tax

I'm wondering if I can work 2 jobs like that and how can I file a tax return. Do I have to do it separately or I can do that together.

What state do you live in?
What state are you physically in when you do the work for the Texas company?


Of course you can have two jobs like that. You're doing it. You report all your income on one federal tax return. How you file the state tax returns depends on your answers to the questions above.

A person only files one tax return for all his income. The W-2 incomes goes on line 1 of form 1040. There are different lines for other types of income. 1099 income for working is considered self employment and goes on Schedule C. You need to use the Self Employment version of TurboTax online (Home and Business if you use the down load/CD version).


The fact that you physically do your work, for the TX company, in UT, means it is considered UT source income and taxable by UT. You file only a UT return. TX does not have an income tax. But even if the company were located in a state with an income tax, you would still file only a UT return.

 

The fact that some of your income comes from a state without an income tax does not get you out of paying state tax to your home state on that income.
