Multiple state income

For my occupation I travel states frequently remodeling big corporate stores Walmart, Home Depot, academy etc. The work was under one company same direct deposit, same residential address throughout working states, that being said. Would I file for different incomes earned in those different states even though I was still receiving income from the same company?

Multiple state income

It works like this:

 

Your resident state can tax ALL your income, regardless of where you earn it.

Other states with an income tax can tax you as a non-resident on your income from work done within their borders, unless they have tax reciprocity with your home state.

You do not have to file a tax return in a non-resident state unless your income in that state exceeds its filing threshold for non-residents.  You can find filing threshold information online on the state's tax website.

If you have to pay income tax to a non-resident state, normally you'll be able to claim a credit on your home state tax return for those taxes.  This prevents double-taxation.
