New Jersey and Connecticut Fight New York’s ‘Convenience of the Employer’ Tax Rule

New Jersey and Connecticut are offering tax credits to residents who successfully appeal New York’s requirement that out-of-state workers pay personal income tax to New York, even if they work remotely.

The issue has been ongoing for decades, and a legal challenge may be necessary to overturn the rule entirely.
