Telecommute Tax Relief Gathers Steam
coondoggie writes to tell us NetworkWorld is reporting that backers of new telecommuter friendly tax legislation have high hopes that this might be the year that it sticks. From the article: " If passed, the Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act would prevent states from taxing income that nonresidents who telecommute to an in-state employer earn while working from home. The legislation is aimed in particular at New York, which is legendary for its stance on nonresident teleworkers. It requires those who sometimes work in the office of their New York employers to pay state taxes -- not only on the income they earn while physically in New York, but also on the income they earn at home. This often results in a double tax when the telecommuter's home state expects tax on the income the telecommuter earns at home."
Stay in New York, New Yahkuhs.
It probably won't surprise you in the least when I say.... Up yours!

Considering all of those telecommuters in India!
How should NYC pay for the costs of legislating, policing, and judging the protections of the workers while they're telecommunting to NYC businesses?
