  • The rules are going to vary from state to state. Most if not all states require that tax be withheld from all wages paid in the state, regardless of where the employee's legal home is. As for filing your taxes, you'll have to file in each state where tax was withheld, and possibly some where it wasn't. Each state has its own laws about how to determine your resident/non-resident, full year/part year resident status and filing requirements. For that matter, the state where your permanent home is may have residency requirements, saying you must reside in the state a certain number of months each year to be considered a resident, so you'll want to check that out, too. Once you have determined what your residency and filing status is in each state for that year, you can file in each state accordingly. Don't be surprised if it turns out that you have to file as a resident of one or even more than one state. Your situation is unusual and has many possible pitfalls. I urge to consult specialists.
