White Paper

Multi-State Operations Means Multi-State Taxes in Arkansas

 
Forty-one states impose a personal income tax on wages. States generally require that employers withhold income tax for both resident and non-resident employees that earn wages for performing services within their state. Even if a Company has no “office” located in a state, the mere performance of services by an employee in a state can be sufficient to create an income tax withholding obligation. For example, sales personnel operating out of their homes are subject to payroll taxes for the state in which they reside.

Additionally, even the performance of services by a non-resident can create a tax reporting liability in many states. For employees who work in multiple states, for example doing construction work, the employer may be liable for withholding taxes for multiple states for a single employee in a single year. Treatment varies widely between states. A few have de minimis exemptions for non-residents working in the state based on the amount of the wages earned, time incurred, etc., before taxes must be withheld and paid. Proposed federal legislation, the “Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act”, would create a nationwide 30 day minimum that an employee would work in a state before the state could impose withholding taxes on that employee’s wages. Further complicating this issue is that a number of states have reciprocity agreements with other, usually adjoining, states regarding the withholding of non-resident state income taxes.
