Representative Chris Pappas Introduces Bill to Prevent Double Taxation of Remote Workers
U.S. Representative Chris Pappas (NH-01), alongside Representatives Jim Himes (CT-04) and Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), has introduced the Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act. This proposed legislation aims to establish a uniform federal standard for taxing income, specifically preventing states from taxing the income of non-residents who are not physically present in that state. The bill addresses the growing issue of remote work, where individuals may reside in one state but work for a company based in another, leading to potential double taxation. Representative Pappas emphasized that New Hampshire residents, who do not pay state income tax, should not be compelled to pay income tax to another state. He stated that the bill seeks to protect workers from unfair out-of-state income taxes, ensuring families can retain more of their earnings. The full text of the bill is available for public review.
