[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you go to Raleigh? The other locations are not great. [/quote]

Probably, this is only "acceptable" location. I may go there temporarily, till finding a new fed job within 50 miles.

If Raleigh, I may just sleep in my SUV and go home very weekend.[/quote]

In that case, they will still pay me DC locality. But my life will be miserable, sleep in my car and drive back and forth every weekend.[/quote]

That's not accurate, OP would be assigned to Raleigh and receive Raleigh locality pay.  It is based upon your duty station, not where you live.[/quote]

I don't think so. I think it is based on where you live, but I am not 100% sure. I want to keep NOVA residence, and pay VA tax and get DC locality.[/quote]

I am 100% sure that you are wrong.  For example, we used to have super commuters that lived out in rest of the US that would get DC pay and report to the office 2x per week.  What you are thinking about is how locality pay is set for fully remote workers because in that case their duty station is their house.

As far as taxes, it depends whether the state in which you are working has a reciprocity agreement.  For example, if you were worked in NY and lived here you would pay NY taxes and get an offset against your VA income taxes for the NY taxes.[/quote]
