You pay state income tax based on your state of residence, not your employer's.
That's not true
If you work in a state you pay that state's taxes regardless of where you live.
I've had the unfortunate benefit of working in one state and living in another now for about 10 years.
It looks like some localities try to double-dip in certain places, but that's the exception, not the rule.
For example, I've been living in WA but working in CA, and have zero tax obligations to the state of California.
That's quite the commute holy hell
I live in WA and work in OR. Oregon takes their taxes and in general I only get the transit tax back and sometimes a kicker if they take too much from everyone (like this year) and have a massive surplus.
The trick is that I don't commute.
So you work from home then?
That's why you don't owe taxes to California. You don't work in California, you work in Washington.
Florida and Alabama double dip, but I forgot which direction.
