Your tax liability is based either on the source of income or on your residency.
If you are working in Virginia - your wages are considered from Virginia sources and are taxable for that state.
If you are a resident of Nevada - all your income - regardless of its source - is taxable for Nevada - however because Nevada doesn't have income tax - that is not an issue in your situation.
If you are working in other states and have income from these states - you will be taxed for these states as a nonresident.
Generally - you should file a tax return for a non-resident state (or states) and determine your tax liability based on income sources.
Then - you will file a tax return for your home state. Because the same income might be taxable for two states - you will claim a credit for taxes paid to another state on your home state tax return. But in your situation your home state - Nevada - doesn't have income tax - so your income is not taxable for that state and no credit is available.
If you temporary visited any state - you do not become a resident of that state - but because each state has its own law - each situation should be investigated separately.
If you do not live in Nevada - that is not your home state - but when you applied for Nevada drivers license - you declared yourself as a resident of this state - that might be not correct.
Let me know if you need any help.
All of my income comes solely from the company in Virginia. There aren't any income sources in any other state and they don't have any other work locations anywhere else. So does that mean that I don't have to investigate the nonresident issues?
You wrote above - Since March I've been working remote in several states for the company based in Virginia.
Now you are saying that your work place is only in Virginia... please clarify...
If your workplace is in Virginia - your income is considered as from Virginia sources and is taxable for Virginia. The location of your employer is irrelevant - only location of your work place determines the source of your income.
So does that mean, no matter what we do, we'll still need to pay Virginia state tax? If your workplace will be in Nevada - you will not be responsible for Virginia state tax, but as long as you are working in Virginia - your income is taxable in that state.
And if we do have to consider nonresident issues, we may be liable for taxes in other states?
Yes - if you would have work places in other states or you will established a residency on other states.
You had mentioned "Your tax liability is based either on the source of income or on your residency." I took this to mean that there is a difference between where I reside and where the source of the income is. The source of the income is in Virginia even though I reside in other states. My work is all internet based, so there are no client locations or other offices for my company. They have one office in Virginia and I work remotely for that office.
I think I might be confused as to what consitutes a "workplace". Our company only has one physical office.
"work remotely for that office" - if that is your physical work location and it is in Virginia - your income is considered from Virginia sources and taxable as such
If your physical work location is in different state - that would be a different issue.
The place where you reach remotely over the internet - is irrelevant based on the current tax law - it may be changed in future - but so far your physical location is only matter.
