If you do work in GA or many of the other states, you need to file income tax for GA regardless of which state you live in.

If you haven't filed for the work you have done in other states it's only a matter of time before the IRS catches up to you.

Plausible deniability. If anything my accountant commited tax fraud. I just turn over receipts, payroll, and signature. However my work out of state is thru companies in florida.

For what it's worth, I once lived in Texas but worked a 9-5 type job in Oklahoma. I had to pay Oklahoma income tax. Even worse, I started this job in late November. They prorated what was taxable on that five weeks based on my federal W2 said for the whole year including income earned in Texas and taxed those five weeks at a rate based on my total income. I was pissed. Interstate tax codes are a PITA.

This shit changes so fast anyway. Its no wonder the tax code needs an overhaul.

About as likely to happen as Mitt Romney and Boehner having buttsex; not that I think it shouldn't.

Maybe you pay taxes to the state where the check is from?

Not sure how that works out being that my employer gave me a normal paycheck/stub and a normal W2.

Just telling yall based on my experience

I've become a really big fan of the "Fair Tax". I like it better than Flat Tax, and a helluva lot better than the Progressive Tax.

I think with some reworking, namely adding some sort of "value added" tax to luxury items, and a "flat tax" on like the top 10% earners, in addition to the embedded Fair Tax system, we might actually see a tax system that makes sense, easy to use, and is realistic.

I don't think it'll ever be fixed because politicians use tax incentives as campaign and political rewards. But still, can't hurt to dream.

Flat taxes are horrible, said before and will say it over and over again (I'm also not a fan of sales taxes on food and clothing). I do think there is common ground among about everyone that the tax code needs to simplified and many deductions, loopholes, etc. cut out all together. I think the issue will become when you start to try to discuss which ones should be ditched.

One of those issues that you can say you want to cut loopholes and please everyone, but start to try to get specific and it becomes a hotbed issue.
