Business Travel/Business Travel - State Residency Status

Advertisement

Expert: - 2/4/2008


Question
My company is based on Washington state. We have many clients in other states such as California, Texas, Michigan, etc.  Some of our employees go to the various clients' locations for short or extended periods of time and may or may not come home to Washington just for the weekends.  How would I find out what constitutes our employees' state of residency?  For instance, one employee may travel to Michigan for a nine month project, which ends up turning into a 13 month project.  This employee comes back to WA almost every weekend and flys back out to Michigan Sunday nights.

Answer
Naomi,

I afraid all I can give you is an opinion.  I would check with a CPA to verify this, but as long as the employee still has a residence in Washington state I believe their state of residence status does not change no matter the frequency of travel to other locations.

Best Regards,

Norm
