I am a young adult in my mid-20s and I am moving out for the first time next month to Temple, TX. I will have the fortunate opportunity to be able to bring my job with me and continue working remotely, once I leave California next month. My manager and I have been talking about how the tax process will work and I need some clarification so that I am well-prepared by the time I move out. Admittedly, I am not that well-versed when it comes to taxes in general, so any resources or information would be very helpful.
Some information about my situation:
- I currently work full-time and my role might be switched to a freelance role by the time I move out. I will then start working under a 1099.
- I have been using Gusto as my payroll service. My manager will start paying me through either Upwork or Paypal, once I move out.
Some additional questions about my situation:
1. My manager suggested that I might need to get myself some sort of business license or something if I want to continue working remotely. Is that true? Or is this only for people who wants to start their own business? I would like to start a business one day but currently, I want to only focus on working for my employer to make things less complicated, while I settle down after moving in. He suggested to contact the City Hall in Temple for more info, but I just want to be absolutely sure.
2. One of the few things I know about taxes in TX is that there are no state income taxes, meaning I can receive more money in return. Will my manager have to adjust how much I'm being paid, in accordance to these tax conditions in TX?
Thank you very much for reading.
