What state?   Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming don't have income tax.  For those states, leave box 15 blank.   

 

Usually, remote workers pay state income tax to their resident state and don't need to file a nonresident state return, but not always. Each state has different guidelines, so it's important to look at individual state rules to determine if you need to file for that state this year.
