Nevada Remote Work for a California Employer: W-2 Tax Questions

住 Nevada、替加州公司遠端工作,還要繳加州所得稅嗎?

本集聚焦 W-2 受僱薪資:先確認稅務居民身分,再看工作實際在哪裡完成及薪酬類型。Employer location alone does not settle the California tax question. This episode covers employee wages, not a general rule for independent-contractor income.

Residency comes first / 先確認稅務居民身分

California generally taxes residents on worldwide income. Moving to Nevada does not automatically establish nonresident status; part-year treatment may apply.

搬家後先釐清居民身分,再判斷收入來源。請與稅務專業人士檢視實際情況。

Where employee services are performed / 受僱工作的實際地點

FTB says ordinary wages for a nonresident working entirely outside California are generally not California-source income. Work physically performed in California may require allocation.

應記錄工作地點及工作天數;不能只用公司地址判斷,也不能因為搬到 Nevada 就一概認定免稅。

Compensation and scope / 薪酬類型與適用範圍

Equity-based or deferred compensation can follow special sourcing rules. Independent-contractor and self-employed income require separate analysis.

本集限於 W-2 薪資的基本觀念。股票、遞延薪酬及 1099 接案收入,請另外查核。

Educational scope / 教育用途

General education, not individualized tax, legal or financial advice. Consult a qualified tax professional using your work records and compensation documents.
