Support the Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act to create a uniform federal standard that prevents states from taxing nonresident remote workers on income earned while physically outside the state.

Today, Representatives Jim Himes (CT-04), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), and Chris Pappas (NH-01), introduced the Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act. The bill would establish a uniform standard for taxing income based on physical presence in a state. In doing so, the bill prohibits a state from taxing a nonresident’s income earned when the individual was not physically in that state. “Providing a uniform federal standard for taxing remote workers is a commonsense proposal that would ensure Connecticut teleworkers can continue to contribute to our national economy without being unfairly subjected to double taxation... let’s right this wrong once and for all.”

Himes introduced and advocated for legislation to set a federal physical-presence standard for state income taxation and prevent double taxation of remote workers.
