Get your taxes done using TurboTax

i never informed my employer about the move, which i realized, i should have simply altered my withholding in payroll.

 

what i learned my from local tax professional is, the residency location doesn't matters. What matters is the state source of income and the most important what matter is, what's state is written on W2.

 

All these internet articles confuse people like us, by keep stating, u pay tax to the state where u work, which in fact is not accurate factually. in my case, i worked in NC remote, but actually for NJ employer + withholder. they could have simply said, follow your w2.

 

taxes could have been lot simpler, if articles are written very friendly for folks like us. they are supposed to explain the gotchas.

 

BTW i was temporary in NC, but lived more than 184 days.
