If I am an employee that does 2-weeks of install work in a different state than I live in, and a different state than my employer, do I still pay different state tax?

I install assets for a company who take my taxes out of my pay. I am sent to different states for about 2 weeks at a time to do installs. Do I need to file state taxes for those two weeks of work or is it all included when a company withholds taxes for me?
I do not live in a state where there is income tax, and I also do not live in the same state as the employer.

Depends what state the company reported the expense in.

You are a resident of a state which does not collect a state income tax.

 

When you work in another state for two weeks, you may be subject to their state income tax depending upon the filing requirements for a nonresident in that state.

 

Your employer may or may not report the income for each individual state that you worked in and may or may not withhold state taxes for that individual state.

 

As an employee, your W-2 in boxes 15 through 17 will show what state your income has been reported to.
