Hello,
Basic question about state taxes for a remote employee. I live and conduct my work in Alabama but my company is located in Georgia. I just got my first paycheck and noticed that my company deducted Georgia state taxes and not Alabama state taxes. I have a couple of questions:
- Can I have them deduct Alabama taxes instead? If not...
- Will I have to pay both Alabama and Georgia taxes? Also...
- If Alabama gives me a credit for taxes paid in Georgia, will that credit be equal to the taxes that I paid in Georgia? Finally...
- Can my wife and I still fill jointly even though we are earning income from two different states?
I'm not sure I realized how complicated this could get before accepting this new opportunity. This tax year will be interesting with me earning income in two different states and having two dependent children rolling off my taxes as well. Any insights would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
