I live in Florida but work in Georgia for a company based in Lousiana. I'm a pilot for a non- profit hospital. The hospital pays the Lousiana company a monthly rate for the aircraft and pilots, the lousiana company then pays me direct deposit to my bank in Florida where I live. Which state do I pay taxes to, Florida of course has no state income tax.

If you are present in a state, then any income earned during this period, must be reported to the state.

If you live and work is a state but your employer is from another state, then your income is only subject to the state where you live and work. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Working or Living in Two or More states
