I work for a small VC-funded startup that is incorporated in Delaware.
We only had one office prior to the pandemic: a WeWork office in New York City (Manhattan) from July 2019 to August 2020. We are now fully remote with 7 total employees in NY, CA, WA and TX.
I left New York City on June 22, 2021 and started an apartment lease in Houston, TX on July 6, 2022.
We use the Justworks PEO service. The address listed on my W-2 is Justworks's PEO address (Justworks is based in New York).
Up until 1/17/2022, the primary business address for our company (as listed in Justworks) was our WeWork office address even though we abandoned that office as of August 2020.
As of 1/17/2022, the primary business address for our company (as listed in Justworks) is now San Diego, CA, which is where my startup co-founder relocated in late 2020.
Justworks has told me that we can retroactively change the date that our primary business address was updated to be before 1/17/2022 if needed.
I was listed as part of the "New York Office" on Justworks up until 1/18/2022. On that date, I was changed to be a "Remote" employee. Justworks has also told me that I can retroactively update the date that I changed from being a "New York Office" employee to a "Remote" employee if needed.
Because I was listed as a "New York Office" employee up until 1/18/2022, Justworks withheld full New York State and City income tax for all of 2021.
I do all of my work remotely from Houston, TX. I haven't traveled to New York since 6/22/2021 and have no plans to.
