“If your employer is unwilling to stop withholding GA tax, after you move, you'll just have to file a GA nonresident return, each year, to get a refund. It's a minor (usually) hassle, but you will not end up paying GA income tax for the days you physically work in TX. “
I just returned from a weeklong business trip in Atlanta, Ga., where I did file an expense report with the company that will be reimbursed by the US government. I also have similar business trips regularly to California, usually for one to two weeks every three months. California and Georgia normally don’t tax me on this; would there be an exception to this since I was a partial resident for the first 5 ½ months of this year? One other question I have is the company is saying we may need to go to California for a few months on a business trip, is there a point California will begin charging state income tax? If so, would it be an accumulation of all income earned this year? I know working/staying overseas for more than a month throws you into a whole new tax situation, do states have this type of tax rules?
