re: If your company makes working from home permanent, would you move somewhere else?

That is 100% not true.

The question was in response to working remotely, if you work remotely, you are taxed in the state that you live in. I know this because I’ve been doing it for years. My work is based out of Tennessee, I live in Louisiana. I still have to pay Louisiana income taxes, regardless of where my “work” in located.

You mean adjust upward, right? If I'm making $100k a year and the company spends $10k to keep my office up, I want a piece of that $10k that they're no longer spending to employ me. After all, I'm providing my own office.

I wish.

Imagine you make $100,000 in Stamford, CT.
You decide to move to Panama City Beach, FL.
They adjust your pay to $70,000.

Google it... lots of companies are looking into this. I agree with your logic, but companies suck. I realized this when I realized if I died, my job would be posted before my obituary.

To a smaller town 80 miles North of here. Its my retirement choice but id move there now in a heartbeat should the opportunity to permenantly work from home arise.

I don't love working from home full time but the ability to live where I want to would probably be appealing enough for me to consider it. I would 100% have a backyard office built or installed though. Something like this

I don’t believe I’d be able to, but at the same time we aren’t going WFH permanently
shite we’re mostly back now

We only have physical locations in LA but we have some employees that are wfh 100% from other states. I've always been curious how that works from a tax standpoint.

Totally depends on the state(s) in question and what (if any) reciprocity laws there are. You would need to do your homework in advance.

That’s exactly what is here. Stay away.

From what I’ve seen and experienced (working in a field that has been remote based for a while), companies will pay most positions within the same pay band regardless of where the employee lives. This pay band will be less than the really high COL areas, but more than really cheap COL areas.

Now, as I stated this is for a field that has been doing the remote thing for a while, I don’t know how fields are going to adjust when newly moving to remote work where they typically paid employee exorbitant salaries because they “had to” in order to attract employees that could afford to live in these high COL areas.

If that's the case, I might consider moving from ATL to Charlotte for a variety of reasons.

You should do that in a heartbeat

From what I’ve read, you won’t ever have to double dip in income taxes, if you have to end up paying two different states, you will get a tax credit from one of them for what you paid to the other.

I work from Louisiana, my firm is based out of Tennessee, and the client I do most of my work for is in Kansas City. I only pay Louisiana taxes.

In a second. Move to an island and live the good life.
