Multiple jobs: one in state of residence, one remote for employer based in another state

[brettseymore]

I currently reside and work a 9 to 5 job in Kentucky, but for 2022, I have picked up a second part-time, remote job in which the employer is based in Arizona. I am looking to verify the impact this may have on my tax situation.

I do not think I need to have any Arizona state tax withheld from my remote role pay, nor do I think I need to file an Arizona state return. But, should I update my W-4 for my 9 to 5 job in KY to withhold additional tax using the multiple jobs worksheet?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you seem to have a grasp on all of the conditions. You stated that you started your new job this year, so it will be reported in next year's tax preparation.

• You are working remotely, and never worked in Arizona.
  • All income will be reported in Kentucky
  • You do not have to have state tax withheld in Arizona
  • You do not have to file an Arizona tax return
• You should prepare a W-4 for both jobs.
