1. If my Texas employer withholds the necessary state income taxes from my paychecks to pay to Colorado, do I also personally have to pay state income tax to Colorado?
@audballer
State tax and withholding work just like federal tax. The amount of tax that you have to pay to Colorado for the year is calculated on the Colorado tax return that you file at the end of the year. The Colorado tax that your employer withholds from your pay is an advance payment towards the tax on your tax return. The amount that is withheld might be more or less than the actual Colorado tax that you have to pay. If the total amount that was withheld for the year is less than the total tax on your tax return, you have to pay the difference when you file your tax return. If the total amount that was withheld for the year is more than the total tax on your tax return, you will get a refund of the excess.
