![]() ![]() I'm not sure how the law itself is exactly written. Ask a professional athlete (even the lower levels deal with it) or some other travelling professional for a recommendation if you are not sure. You need a tax professional who is familiar with multi-state income taxes. Side Note: Anyone being a nomad in America who wants to be 100% legal really needs to pay for professional help and not H&R Block or even a local CPA. If not you have to decide what is more important to you. If they are willing to go along with it that is great. IMO you need to tell them and likely before you do it so you know their reaction. You really can't hide a move long term unless you were living with your parents or a friend who will continue to let you use you original address for years. Plus remember at bare minimum they need to send you W2s and etc to a legal address for you. I know I am likely in the minority here by saying that but the risk vs reward is too unbalanced towards risk.Īnd I sold RVs for nearly a decade so I've studied and dealt with people doing the US nomad thing long before I was ever around the digital nomad community. Personally I would never digital nomad in the US minus states with no income tax. Especially if you spend time in states that know for enforcement (NY and CA for example). It "works" but if you get caught it could be a tax nightmare. They basically set a resident in one state and only deal with that state legally. See professional athletes and their taxation. For people who travel for work this can become complicated. On a personal level working in any state with state income tax means you need to pay taxes in that state. Basically they will need to talk to their lawyers to decide what is the best way to handle it. They likely could eliminate that risk by converting you into a 1099 but that has other risks since to legally be 1099 they have to give you more control. ![]() (Big companies with employees in various states have the most risk IMO) But that will depend on what states you are in and how long. If they are a small company it is very likely that have little to no risk themselves. I would tell them but you could risk being fired (or told you can't).
