How do I file state taxes when working out of state using a 1099?

Question

I am an independent consultant. The company I work for is located in ohio and my residence was in Ohio until 2012. I traveled to New york twice for work in 2011. Both of the contracts were for two weeks each. I am filing a 1099 do I pay New York state taxes for the time I worked there in 2011? I just moved to Texas this year and have been working in Miss off and on totaling about 9 weeks when I file taxes at the end of the year do i pay state taxes in Miss? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

"I am an independent consultant. The company I work for is located in ohio"



No, the company you work for is YOU. Your client is located in Ohio. Your tax home is wherever your office is/was located.



Since you were an ohio resident for 2011, your tax return is for Ohio only.



" I just moved to Texas this year " WHEN did you move to Texas? You will probably have to file a part year resident return for each Ohio & Texas.



These locations you are going to are just part of your job but you do not owe those states taxes.

Answer 2

If your 1099 says ohio, file ohio. If it says ny file ny. Two weeks is not long enough to vote.





Caution, Senator All Franken got nailed because as an entertainer he did business in 15 states, and as a US Senate seat, somebody noticed. He had to fill in each state that he entertained in. Got a nice refund from Minnesota.

Answer 3

Income is sourced by where it was earned, so yes, you owe NY and MS taxes.



You also file OH taxes, taking a credit for taxes paid to the other states.

Answer 4

You pay income taxes in your state off residence, not the temp job site state.
