The Texas company decides which New Jersey hospitals I work in on which days. It also sends me the paychecks, so the 1099-MISC which reports my income has a Texas address in the Payer's Name box.
No part of my employment actually physically takes me to Texas.
The question is: since my staffing agency is based in Texas, and since they are the ones that "pay" me, do I owe Texas taxes? Or do I just pay New Jersey taxes, since I am a New Jersey resident?
Thanks for your advice!
