Does anyone live in a state outside of their home office? Is it a risky move?

A lot of people in the NY metro area do. Not a big deal.

Yep 👍. The biggest risk I have is buying too large of a house with the difference in cost of living.

Many major cities are near state borders. It’s fine so long as you do the taxes correctly. DC, Philadelphia, NYC all exist in multi-state metro areas; Boston and Chicago, for example, are a bit farther from state borders but have employees resident in Indiana, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin in addition to Massachusetts or Illinois.

Where it is going to be a problem is that if you want to be physically located somewhere like NYC but list a home address in Texas purely to save on taxes and do so in an undisclosed manner. It can also be a problem for travel expenses - your employer is responsible for getting you from your assigned metro area to the client or meeting event site and back - not somewhere else, and if you go somewhere else then it becomes taxable “alt travel”.

Yes. For instance, I live in suburban Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and when I work from home, my taxes are lower as Philadelphia’s wage taxes are higher when I am physically in the city. My employer typically withholds taxes on the assumption that I am in the office each day, and when my timesheet shows there are days that I am not (working from home, at a client somewhere else with lower taxes, etc), I get that difference back a few pay cycles later as an adjustment. If I was somewhere with higher taxes, that difference is made up by the employer so as to not create an economic disincentive to work in the higher cost location.

Not a risky move as long as you still pay residency taxes in your home office state and the firm/your employer knows that you are aligned to office X, but living in city Y.

You mean income tax right? How would you pay residency if you don’t have a place there? And do you then pay dual taxes for the state you actually live in?

I know someone who lives in PA but commutes to MD. Seems rough to me, but he seems very happy

Well, MD and PA share a border for 200 miles or so. I guess it matters how deep into PA he lives and where in MD he works.

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
