Live in one state, taxed in another?


What is the name of your state? SD

I worked for a company where I was based in SD, but for a few months during the year I worked in MT. I drove up on mon. and back home on fri., so I never had a residence there. They started taking out MT state income tax from my checks. I have been doing this for a few years and when I asked my employer why they never did it before, they told me it was because they didn't "catch it" before. Can they do this and do I have to actually pay this tax?

Thank you in advance.

Yes. You will have to file as a "non-resident" of Montana, but you can claim lodging, per diem, mileage and other expenses associated with working out of state on a temporary basis.

Have a pro do it, it can get a bit complicated.

Did you know it is not unusual for pro athletes to have to file tax returns in 15 to 20 states? When a pro football team such as the Seattle Seahawks play the 49ers in San Francisco, 1/16 of the players salary is considered earned in California. That's why they have agents and accountants to figure out their taxes.
