Q. If I live in one state but I have full-time remote job for an employer in another, do I mark that I "made money in any other states?"

A. Simple answer: No

But it depends on what that other state (and your home state) is and whether you occasionally physically go to that office to work; and whether your employer is withholding state income tax for the office location state.

Remote workers are generally not taxed by their employer's state. But there are exceptions, depending on the circumstances.

@jeha752624 --

So, to fully answer your question we need to know:

1. In what state do you live?

2. In what state is your employer located?

3. Did you ever physically work within the employer's state?

4. Are you a W-2 employee?

5. For which state(s) did your employer withhold taxes?

**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
