Where did you read that you needed a letter? Do you mind telling us what state? Different states have different rules.

And are we talking about 2013 or 2014?

It's for 2013. And Illinois.

So I found Publication 130 for the state of Illinois, which defines when an employer should withhold state income taxes. You must meet one of the tests for "being paid in Illinois". I, however, do not meet any of them.

LSUFanHouston, I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head: they are not registered in Texas and thus cannot claim to have an employee there, else they will be liable for certain employer taxes here. So I get screwed as a result. I dont know what my next steps are (I certainly dont want to jeopardize my job by causing a stink), but this is entirely unfair.
