What is YNP? Yellowstone National Park? Yosemite National Park? Something else?


What are the two states on your W-2s?


Parts of Yellowstone National Park are in three different states. When you are in Yellowstone National Park you are in one of those three states, depending on exactly what part of the park you are in. There is no place in the park that is not part of any state. If you worked in a part of the park that is in Wyoming, then you worked in Wyoming. The same is true if you worked in a part of the park that is in one of the other two states, Montana or Idaho.

 

Wyoming has no state income tax, but Montana and Idaho do. You have to pay state income tax to the state that you worked in, even if you live in a different state.
