The bill would establish a uniform standard for taxing income based on physical presence in a state. In doing so, the bill prohibits a state from taxing a nonresident\u2019s income earned when the individual was not physically in that state.\n\n\u201cRemote work has become a mainstay of the modern American economy and yet state tax rules have yet to catch up to our new reality,\u201d said Congressman Jim Himes. \u201cProviding a uniform federal standard for taxing remote workers is a commonsense proposal that would ensure Connecticut teleworkers can continue to contribute to our national economy without being unfairly subjected to double taxation. For the millions of Americans who earn their livings from their home offices, let\u2019s right this wrong once and for all.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis is a no-brainer. Jersey families who work remotely shouldn\u2019t get hit with a tax bill from a state they never stepped foot in,\u201d said Congressman Josh Gottheimer. \u201cWe\u2019re going to make sure hardworking Jersey families keep more of their hard-earned money instead of getting double-taxed for doing their jobs from their kitchen table.\u201d\n\n\u201cGranite Staters do not pay an income tax in New Hampshire, and they certainly should not be forced to pay one to another state,\u201d said Congressman Chris Pappas. \u201cEvery dollar that families can keep in their pocket matters, and workers must be protected from an unfair, out-of-state income tax. The Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act would protect those teleworking for a company in a state different from the one they reside in from over-taxation. I will continue to fight for tax fairness for all.\u201d", 1, "2026-08-25T05:31:37Z", "2026-08-25T05:33:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://himes.house.gov/2026/08/24/himes-gottheimer-pappas-introduce-bill-to-prevent-double-taxation-of-remote-workers/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8228819351643324, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
