State tax filing

I think what you may be asking is if you need to file a tax return in Utah by virtue of your income being associated with that state. Your income from Utah would have to be from sources within Utah to require you to file a tax return there as a non-resident, and would typically consist of the following types of income:

 

   -  Income from real or tangible personal property (rent income)

   -  Income from personal services performed in the state

   -  Lottery or gambling winnings

   -  Ownership interest in an unincorporated business active in the state

 

Also, some states, like New York, will tax you as a non-resident if you telecommute for your own convenience. For example, your employer would allow you to work in New York, but you choose to work from your home in New Jersey.

 

So, if you are not physically present in Utah performing the duties of your job, and you don't own rental property there, you would not normally be taxed by that state.
