Hi,
I work as a contractor in MA on behalf of my employer who is based in VA. I live in NH. I receive pay check from VA based company for the work performed at their client's office in MA. I live in NH. To which state(s) I should pay taxes to?

The answer provided by clukkes is too simplistic.

In fact, you will need to file and pay taxes on your MA-based income for both NH and MA. When you file the NH return, NH will give you a credit for the taxes you paid to MA against the tax liability you owe to NH. That way, you are not double-taxed.

Strongly recommend that you do not file these returns yourself. You need professional tax help. I am available for this work. You will find my rates to be very reasonable, and I can provide references from several clients who have used my services whom I have never met in person.

It is your choice! Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.
