remote work

Hello,

I live in Virginia and was hired as an independent contractor by a company in Georgia. I work from home in VA and provide remote telehealth services to people in Montana. I am paid by the company in Georgia who mailed me a 1099-NEC. Do I file state taxes with Montana or Georgia? Thank you for your help

You might need to file a Georgia state return in addition to Virginia.

Montana has no bearing on your situation.

According to the State of Georgia:

"If you are a legal resident of another state, you are not required to file a Georgia income tax return if:

Your only activity for financial gain or profit in Georgia consists of performing services in Georgia for an employer as an employee
The compensation for services performed does not exceed the lesser of five percent of the wages in all places or $5,000.00"
