The Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act of 2024 would prevent states from taxing the income of workers who live in one state but work remotely or travel for jobs in other states. Under the bill, a state could only tax a nonresident worker's compensation for time periods when that worker is physically present in that state, and states could not use factors like working from home or employer convenience tests to claim tax authority over out-of-state workers. The legislation applies only to income taxes on wages, salaries, and other compensation earned by employees and independent contractors, and does not affect taxes on investment income, corporate taxes, or other forms of taxation. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment and would apply to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. This change would primarily benefit remote workers and traveling employees who currently may face income tax bills from multiple states despite living elsewhere.
