State tax filing

@ajklenne --

 

Nebraska is one of a handful of states that tax non-resident telecommuters according to the "convenience of the employer" doctrine.  That rule states that if a non-resident is telecommuting from a location outside Nebraska for their own convenience, rather than for the convenience of the employer, their income is considered "Nebraska-source" income, and is taxable by Nebraska.

 

See Section 003.01C "Compensation for Services" in this reference:

https://revenue.nebraska.gov/about/legal-information/regulations/chapter-22-individual-income-tax

 

So if you're working remotely from SD for your own convenience, your income is taxable by Nebraska.
