Permanent Resident in One State, Working in Another Quarterly Taxes

[jd786]

My permanent residence is in Missouri, though I had to move to Georgia in February (and will reside here until September) for a job. For this job, I have a W-2. 

On the side, I have two other jobs. One is a part-time remote position, the other is a position that requires me to travel (though all work completed for BOTH jobs so far this year has been in the state of Georgia). For both of these jobs, I am a contract worker, so I need to pay quarterly taxes. 

Along with paying federal quarterly taxes, I am trying to figure out whether I will have to pay quarterly taxes in both Missouri and Georgia. Keep in mind, no work for the contract jobs has been completed in Missouri. I am also a bit confused about how much in quarterly taxes I will have to pay for both federal and state this quarter, so any guidance (such as how to calculate or how much to allocate) about that would be greatly appreciated.

If you worked in Georgia, you will want to report and pay tax in Georgia.  (Income is sourced to the state where the work was physically performed in general.)  You will also have to report the income in your resident state of Missouri, but you will be able to apply the credit for the taxes paid to another state so you are not double taxed.  Because the Georgia rate is higher than the Missouri rate, you most likely will not need to make estimated tax payments to Missouri, but will need to make them to Georgia.  

Georgia utilizes a flat individual income tax rate, which is scheduled to be 5.19%.  Important Tax Updates | Department of Revenue - Georgia.gov

For 2025, Missouri has a graduated individual income tax rate ranging from 0% to a top rate of 4.7% for taxable incomes over $9,191.  2025 Individual Income Tax Year Changes

Thanks for the response!

When I pay Georgia quarterly taxes, will that income have to be reported to Missouri each quarter, or rather, will it be reported when I file taxes for 2026 next year? Likewise, would the quarterly tax credit from Georgia need to be applied to Missouri each quarter as well, or also when filing next year?

No, there won't be any need to report your Georgia income to Missouri each quarter.  As MaryK4 mentioned, you will report your Georgia income to Missouri when you file your tax return and Missouri will give you credit for taxes paid to Georgia on your Georgia-sourced income.

No, the Georgia quarterly tax payment will be applied to your Georgia tax liability when you file your return next year.  The amount of credit to Missouri for your Georgia tax liability won't be known until you file your tax returns next year.
