Good luck getting volunteers in the future.

I think the word volunteer is being used loosely.

I think they 'volunteered' to go to NYC for a while to work temporarily. Like having an "all-volunteer' Army.

Why are those bad optics? Who would expect these people not to pay taxes?

"Even though the state government asked thousands of people to come to New York from out of state to help fight coronavirus, they will have to pay New York state taxes, even on income they might make from their home states that they're paid while in New York."

That's fucked up.

My wife is an RN, she is, or was, getting emails asking if she had an interest to relocate to hard-hit areas, for $4500/week.

Stop spending.

Balance your budget.

Idiot.

It’s not that fucked up. I did it for years as a consultant. Always had multiple state returns.

[jon-nyc]

Try to imagine if they had tried to get a change in the tax code through the legislature in time for this.

All so that these people wouldn’t lose 5% of their 4500/week for 3-5 weeks.

Me too. But I did not have to pay Wisconsin taxes for money I received from Ohio clients.

They should pay taxes. They got paid really well and now they want an extra bump? I guess it tells you how people feel about taxes generally but it sounds entitled in this case.

Depends on Wisconsin tax law, whether/how you performed work in Wisconsin, and what interstate compact Ohio might have with Wisconsin, if any.

I don’t know the specific details but it isn't generally true. Sounds like the press blew up some very special case to try to scratch the ‘nothing’ off of this burger.

Yea... ya better hope that second wave doesn't hit NYC.

Good luck getting anyone to go...

You think 5-8% less on 200k annualized will make a difference?

[Rainman]

I'd take the tax hit, if they provided housing, meals, airfare, taxi.
Good Deal. But, I'm not going anyway, I don't have a THING to wear.

[LuFins Dad]

I think the primary issue is groups like Samaritan’s Purse that came in from out of the area, whose nurses weren’t being paid 5K a month and were not being paid any extra to be there. They are being double taxed on their same income.

[jon-nyc]

For 15 years I dealt with multiple state returns. You can claim the tax paid in the away state as a credit against your home state tax, at least within certain limits. It’s not the complete complete breech of common sense portrayed in this piece. This is not a novel issue.
