Taxed by a state you don't live or work in.....?

Basically your employer blew it. RI cannot tax you if you neither live nor work there. The fact that your employer is located in RI is irrelevant. Get this corrected so you don't have to deal with it again next year.

You'll need to file a non-resident RI return showing $0 income and the RI tax withheld. They will refund the tax to you. (You may want to attach an explanatory note to the return just to clarify things.)

Hi Really: Sounds goofy. I have seen this before but you are right-what gives. You should pay tax only in MA. You need to get it fixed at your company book keeping level. Now what do we do? If you can not get a corrected W2 you may have to file a RI return as a nonresident and exclude all of your income. If you use a tax service this will be an added expense. Did your company with hold for both states? Lets hope not.This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provide. Click on my profile to read more.

No, your income is not subject to RI taxes as you were not present in RI to work. You should ask your employer not to hold RI taxes.

If employer has deducted RI taxes, you will file RI return to get it back. Attach a letter from your employer that you were not present in RI to earn this income.

You will file MA tax return.

You record 2 area-12 months resident tax returns--one for NJ and one for NC. each State will ask how a lot you made of their State and how a lot you made finished. each State applies the proportion of the whole earnings that grow to be earned of their State, yet each State would be conscious it somewhat in any different case. Get the educational booklets and pass line-by-line. you will could desire to have your federal return complete first.

you will have to file both states and you will do a nonresident return for Rhode Island. What part R.I. dont keep will be a credit paid to other states on Mass.

no i don't believe that is...you should first bring this to your employers attention (could just be a clerical error) i would also ask, if it's and error for back wages that over taxation has caused. If you find that your employer doesn't respond or just blows you off..i would then get into contact with the IRS.

Call IRS. no waste of time. You get taxs where you live. not another state live in which you don't

idk, i would defenitely call the IRS to clear that question up for you.
