How do taxes work if you consult for a business that is out of state?

30 April 2009 2 Comments

Hello all,

I am currently an independent consultant for a company based in Massachusetts. However, I do ALL of the work remotely in California. The employer did withhold anything. Do I still have to pay MA state income tax, or do I only pay California state taxes?

Thanks in advance!

    Federal and CA only. MA has no claim on your income as you neither live nor worked there.
