How Remote Work Across State Lines Complicates Your Taxes in 2026

In this episode of The Tax Strategy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the state tax maze facing remote workers. With about one in three employees still working remotely or hybrid, the question of which state gets your income tax is surprisingly tricky. Lucas explains the 'convenience of the employer' rule, focusing on New York's aggressive stance: if you live in a no-tax state like Texas but work for a New York company, you may still owe New York tax. Luna probes how remote workers can avoid double taxation and manage multi-state filing. The hosts share practical strategies: track your days carefully, understand your employer's state's rules, and consider whether moving changes your liability. With audits on the rise, this episode is essential for anyone earning a paycheck from a different state than where they live.
