Nexus & Quarantine

Has the current work-from-home environment created nexus for your business in different states? Historically, when employees work in a state in which their employer does not otherwise operate, the employer may then have sufficient tax presence in the state to be subject to its tax code.

Sheltering-in-place is forcing this situation for some businesses. Along state borders, employees may work in one state but live in a nearby different state. Those employees may now be working from home in a different state than the business generally operates.

As much of the country’s workforce follows quarantine protocol, states have begun to release specific guidelines for businesses with employees temporarily working from home to not impose a tax presence in that different state. Check with your tax professional for more details to determine the proper reporting requirements for your business.
