I was hired for a new position and live in New Mexico and will be working in New Mexico. The company sent me for a training in Arizona for four weeks at which point I will return to New Mexico and work the rest of the time from there.
I just received my first pay statement and they charged me both Arizona and New Mexico state income taxes and when I asked the payroll specialist about it (who is outsourced). Her answer for me was that since I am a resident of one state but chose to work at a facility in another state I have to pay both. She suggested I request a transfer to a position in New Mexico. But I was hired for a position in New Mexico, I am just temporarily training in Arizona.
Am I required to pay both New Mexico and Arizona state income taxes?
