[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly OT but I know of a few people using residences in states with no state income tax.  Seems like a really dumb idea and easy way to get fired since they can tell where you're logging in from but maybe the govt is too busy with other stuff to do anything about it.[/quote]

Can you explain? I don't understand the point you're making. [/quote]

I think PPs point is they are working remote in states they never received official permission to be in and no tax states will audit you harsher. Plus when you file taxes and it doesn’t match your federal employer tax filings - problem. [/quote]

PP here and it's actually the reverse that they moved from no tax states to states with income tax but are still using the old address.  I think all of the addresses will match up because the agency still thinks they're in the no tax state but if they ever audited the IP address for their remote logins it would be from a different state.  They are dodging paying state income tax and also getting a higher locality pay than they would otherwise get.  [/quote]

The first pp makes no sense. In order to move to a no tax state and not pay income tax you would have to move your duty station to that state. At the very least you would have to file a form saying you will pay no state taxes, either will get you caught and fired easily if audited.

The second situation I suppose you could do by moving and just not reporting the move. However, I've heard HR across the gov is on to people claiming they live in a higher locality when they don't. HR catches them and issues a debt notice making them repay the difference in salary.[/quote]
