We live in Rhode Island. My wife did some private contractor urban planning work for a town in Connecticut, $6,000 worth. She received a 1099-MISC from the town for $6,000. However, nearly all of the actual work was done here at home on her computer. She visited the town twice as part of the job. How should I handle this?

OK, Let's say "hypothetically" that I already paid some estimated taxes to a state that now I discover I don't have to file a return with. What's the best way to try and claw that money back?

We used to file with that state because we lived there, but we moved and didn't live there for any part of 2019. But my wife continued working as an independent contractor for the same employer in that state in 2019.

If your wife did not work in the state where the contractor she works for is located she will not have to file a state tax return. However, you will need to file a state tax return to get a refund of your estimated tax payments.
