State tax filing

Not exactly- income, in general, is sourced to the place it was earned or received in *.  

 

For state tax purposes, you report and pay tax (if required) as a NONRESIDENT on state source income.

For your RESIDENT state, you must report all income regardless of source.  To avoid double- tax on the same income, a resident state usually gives a credit for the tax paid to the nonresident state.

 

* Some income, like retirement, bank interest etc, is only state source income in the person's resident state.
