I have a unique job working in television production. I travel the country to different cities all over, on aver 12-15 times a year, spending about a week in each city I go to.
I am an independent contractor for the production company that does the show and they provide me with a 1099-NEC form at the end of the year for the work that I do.
That said, my wife and I are switching who does our tax prep this year, going into 2025, and the person we spoke with told us that I should be filing in each state that I work in.
The work I do is for the company that produces the show. It is not for any business in the state that I work in.
In the 16 years I have been doing this line of work, no one has ever told me that, so I am wondering if there was a rule change I need to know about, or if I should find another tax prep person.
