U.S. Supreme Court rejects major telecommuting case
An AP newswire article, via The Mercury News, reports that:
The Supreme Court refused Monday to disturb New York's system of taxing the income of telecommuters who live elsewhere but are employed by companies in the Empire state.
Justices passed up a chance to hear the appeal of a Tennessee computer programmer who claimed that New York's tax law is unconstitutional.
Thomas Huckaby had been ordered to pay New York income tax for his full salary, not just the time he spent at the New York offices of the union for which he worked. He lived 900 miles away in Nashville.
The case gave the court a chance to clarify when states could pursue income taxes based on the location of the corporate headquarters, not the worker.
