Which states should I file in..?
Hi everyone,
During 2024, I've been providing consulting services to various companies in a few different US states (California, New York, Washington). I got 1099 forms from all of them though one of them (based in Wyoming) insisted on paying me through W-2. I live in New Jersey and have been throughout all of 2024.
I have two questions:
First, based on my understanding, because I am *not* an employee and rather a self-employed consultant, the income is considered to be NJ-based income so I don't need to file New York, California or Washington taxes - just New Jersey. Is this correct?
Second, is this true for the Wyoming based company as well (that pays me through W-2)? They consider me an employee but I am not a full time employee and only a tiny fraction of my salary comes from there. Do I need to submit taxes in Wyoming as well?
Many thanks
