Working from the “Zoom Towns”? Fixing the Multi-State Tax Nightmare
If you live in Spokane but your company is in Seattle, or if you moved to Boise while keeping your California job, you are likely in the crosshairs of a “Nexus Audit.”
In 2026, state tax authorities have become incredibly aggressive. They are using IP addresses, payroll data, and even cell phone records to determine exactly where you are sitting when you do your work. The result? A “Tax Nightmare” where two different states claim you owe them 100% of your income tax.
The Double-Taxation Danger
Many remote workers are receiving notices from the Idaho State Tax Commission or the Montana Department of Revenue claiming thousands in back taxes because their employer was withholding for the wrong state. Worse, some states have “Convenience of the Employer” rules that make this even more complicated.
