What to do
- Make sure your employer withholds Arizona tax, since nothing is withheld for Nevada.
- Keep a record of the days you work in each state, especially if you sometimes work from home.
Special credit rules
- AZ: Reverse-credit state: for residents of CA, IN, OR, VA working in AZ, AZ (the work state) gives the credit, not the resident state. AZ residents working in those states get no AZ credit for that tax; the other state credits AZ tax instead.
