State tax filing

@TBF205860

 

 In your other thread you said you will be receiving a W-2.  Now you are implying you will be an independent contractor.   Which is it?   An employee is not the same as an independent contractor.  Working remotely does not make you an independent contractor.  If you are an independent contractor, then there is no employer withholding tax or Social Security or Medicare from your wages.   Will you be receiving a W-2 or a 1099Misc?

 

It is important for you to understand which you will be so that you can plan and approach taxes correctly. And it is important to be clear here so that we can answer you correctly.

If you are a W-2  employee you cannot deduct job-related expenses on your federal return--as was already explained in your other thread.  If you are a W-2 employee ASK the employer if they can withhold OH state tax from your paychecks.  Again--we already told you about this in your other thread.  If the employer cannot or will not withhold OH tax then you can pay OH estimated tax quarterly.

 

If you are going to be an independent contractor then please re-read the comments from Champ pk.  You will have to plan to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare as well as ordinary income tax.  And paying estimated quarterly federal and state tax would be necessary to avoid a large tax bill and possible penalties at tax time.

 

WA has no state income tax, so if you do not work in WA or live in WA you do not have any worries about WA.
