@stompin699 - can you be specific on what two states are involved? this can get complicated as you bring up the idea of W-2 vs. 1099.
Let's say your employer is in CA and you work remotely in MN. if you are a W-2 employee, you'd pay taxes to MN and NOT CA. But if you were a 1099 contractor, you'd pay taxes to CA and MN (MN would give you a credit for most all of the CA taxes paid).
