Bill to Help Remote Workers

The Remote and Mobile Worker Relief Act of 2021 (S. 1274) would provide uniformity in state and local income tax for employees that travel on behalf of employers to work in a different state. It would set a 30-day threshold before which that other state could impose its taxes on the worker (with a 90-day threshold for 2020 and 2021 to help medical professionals and other workers who went to help in areas hard hit by the pandemic). It would also allow employers to continue assigning income to the state as it had before the pandemic when workers switched to working from home. This bill has bipartisan support.  #IdeaoftheDay
