Hello, My wife is a W-2 consultant. Her consulting company is located in Illinois. The client she works for is in the New York state. We live in California. During 2023, she worked remotely from home and never even traveled to New York. Her consulting company has designated her work place as New York and as such a good chunk of taxes were withheld and ultimately paid to the state. Meanwhile, we were also taxed substantially in California.
Does this sound right? Should she just pay taxes on the her state of residence? Isn't this double-taxing? Any guidance is appreciated. We used TurboTax Premier for 2023 taxes.
Thanks, Mark
