I am a resident of MI but working 100% remotely with some travel (4-5 times a year) for an employer in Arkansas. The W2 from the employer states MI in box 15 and associated state wages in #16 and state income tax in #17. I do understand that I need to file MI state Income tax but turbotax is also asking me to file AR state tax as non-resident. I don't think I need to file AR state tax but want to confirm.
If I dont need to file AR taxes, should I answer 'No, we didn't make money in any other states.' to 'Did either of you make money in any other states?' question in My Info? Also should I delete AR non-resident tax from 'Status of your state returns' page?
PS: I filed my 2022 taxes thru CPA and he did not file AR state tax, only MI.....I hope he did it right 🙂
According to AR Department of Finance and Administration (here) remote workers who work outside of AR are not taxed by AR. You do not need to file in AR. Yes, you can also delete the return and answer "No" you did not earn money in another state in the "My Info" section.
