What is the convenience of the employer rule?
by TurboTax•149• Updated 5 months ago
The convenience of the employer rule applies to certain taxpayers who work from home. It means you're taxed as if you work in your employer's state even if you don't.
You may need to file both a resident and a nonresident return, unless you live in a reciprocal state or a state without income tax.
The convenience of the employer rule may apply to you if you live or work in:
- Delaware
- Nebraska
- New York
- Pennsylvania
Additionally, Connecticut and New Jersey tax the income of nonresidents working from home only when that taxpayer’s home state applies a similar tax.
