This bill establishes 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\u201cEvery dollar hard-working Granite Staters can keep in their pocket matters, and workers must be protected from unfair, out-of-state taxes,\u201d said Congressman Chris Pappas. \u201cThe Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act would protect individuals who telework 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\n\n\u201cDespite a pandemic-driven surge in telework, conflicting state tax rules still burden employees and discourage working from home,\u201d said Congressman Jim Himes. \u201cThere is no good reason why residents of Connecticut who work from home offices in Connecticut should be paying taxes to any other state. It is time to modernize our laws to support an evolving workforce and protect Americans from unfair over-taxation.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act is essential for cutting taxes and ensuring people in New Jersey keep more of their hard-earned dollars where they belong \u2014 in their own pockets,\u201d said Congressman Josh Gottheimer. \u201cBy clarifying that they should only pay taxes to the state where they live and work, we\u2019re not just protecting their financial well-being \u2014 we\u2019re ensuring they aren\u2019t double taxed by a state they don\u2019t even set foot in.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "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://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/pappas-introduces-multi-state-worker-tax-fairness-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.412283094599843, "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"}
