I am in the opposite situation: I live in Upstate New York, and I have recently been hired by an employer in Texas. Am I subject to NY tax withholding, or TX tax withholding, or both?! I haven't received any advise from our HR in this regard yet, but a financial tax specialists is asking me for fill a tax withholding form that I have no knowledge about the correct choice(s) that I have to make.
You always owe state income tax on all your worldwide income to the state where you physically live, and/or where you are physically located when you perform the job. That pays for the roads, the cops, and everything else you benefit from by living in that location.
Sometimes, you may also owe income tax to another state, especially if you travel and work temporarily in other states. But that does not apply to you in this case.
