What to do
- File an Arizona nonresident return. There's no Nevada return for wages because Nevada has no income tax.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay Arizona income tax if I live in Nevada?
Yes. Arizona taxes wages earned there by nonresidents. On $100,000 that's about $2,098.
Do I have to file taxes in both Nevada and Arizona?
Usually you file only one state return (a nonresident return in Arizona), though some states still require a nonresident return to get a refund of any wrongly withheld tax.
Will I be taxed twice?
No. Nevada has no income tax, so you pay only Arizona's nonresident tax: about $2,098 on $100,000.
