Does the same thing happen along the NV CA border, where the income tax difference is even more extreme? 0% vs top marginal rate of 12.3%? My guess is no, otherwise NV border towns would be chock full of tech workers WFH'ing from a zero income tax state.
Having roots in NV myself, and knowing a number of friends who currently work at FAANG companies who’ve moved back, I’ve heard the typical salary cut corresponds roughly to the CA income tax they’d otherwise pay (~12%).
It isn’t similar to NH/MA, because it isn’t feasible to commute from NV geographically.
Well, the same thing happens for nonresident remote workers with CA employers: https://www.palmspringstaxandtrustlawyers.com/nonresidents-w...
> NV border towns
Aside from Stateline and Incline Village and other places around Lake Tahoe, towns on the NV side (really, either side, but the NV side is germane here) of the CA-NV border aren't exactly places that are attractive to live, and even those few aren't convenient commuting distance for the occasional office visit for the kind of WFH job where being close to the office in CA would matter, because the CA tech hubs aren't anywhere near the NV border. So, if you are going to work remotely out-of-state for a CA firm for tax advantage, you aren't especially likely to do it from an NV border town, as opposed to somewhere else in NV or an even more distant low-tax state.
Rules are different for contactors.
If they didn't, LAS would be the busiest airport in the country.
