<p>I am working in LA over the summer but all of my addresses/residence have been in TX since birth. My job for the summer (internship) is with a top firm in LA (Louisiana) where there is state tax, however there is no state tax in Texas. When I file my taxes, will I be getting the money I payed for LA state tax back? Just curious on how refunding works in that manner.
Thanks!</p>
<p>You have to pay California State Income Tax on incomes that you earn in California.</p>
<p>Imagine you’re an athlete or concert performer. You play in a bunch of different cities in different states. You are responsible for paying taxes in each place. If you’re an athlete, they’ll take your salary and divide it up by the number of games in each place. If you’re a performer, it’s what you take in at each place.</p>
<p>Will you get your money back or not? It depends on how LA taxes non-residents. I recommend looking at this: <a href=“Individuals - Louisiana Department of Revenue”>Individuals - Louisiana Department of Revenue;
<p>You will have to file ( and pay) LA income tax. Been in exactly that same situation. There is a form for partial year residents, which is what they will consider you.</p>
<p>I live in one state and work in another (the state line is half a mile from my house.) I pay taxes in both states but I get credit in my home state for taxes paid in my work state so it pretty much evens out.</p>
<p>Wellspring, TX doesn’t have an income tax, so I’m not sure it will work the same way for OP.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter where your “other half” lives. LA taxes you on your income produced within their state.
As do many other states.
If both the state of income and the state of residence charge income tax, there are credits and complications and some may get compensation for taxes paid in the other state.
LA will clearly tax income even for those who reside out of state.
As a TX resident, you can file it under sc#%^d.</p>
<p>@Christian2 Louisiana not Los Angeles lol. I thought that too when I read the thread title.</p>
<p>you may not earn enough to have to pay the state tax, if you were to get paid 100,000 a game like somebody else mentioned… even if you were from out of state the tax man will show up with their hand out. do you or your parents have a cpa or accountant ?</p>
<p>I live in Texas (no state income tax) and have income from Arkansas (state income tax). I have to file non-resident in AR for my income derived there and pay taxes on it. There is no refund from Texas, since there is no filing in Texas.</p>
