Comment The straight answer from NC working in MA (Score 1) 617
I recently moved from to NC, but still work for a company in MA where I've been a full-time employee for a few years now. Both states have a tax and this is what I found out a few weeks ago. I work at home everyday save maybe 12 days a year.
Taxes are withheld for the State of MA from my check every pay period (5.95%)
No taxes are withheld for NC (7-8%)
I will get a small refund from MA and the remaining amount that MA keeps can be deducted from the amount I will have to pay to NC for never having given them any money all year.
It sucks, but it's the law
