I didn't know I was supposed to file taxes in multiple states when I started and honestly thought that I only needed to report the hours associated with my home office for revenue recognition/billing

Did you have hotel receipts or expenses at your other state? Our expense folks catch it if you expense something in a state you don't charge time to. All in all, you signed a time sheet saying you were accurately recording the location and you didn't. That's fraud sweetie, however you dice it.

@A1: more than 1 year now. I was an industry hire and did training with a bunch of tax accountants (the irony), which is why I think they never mentioned that because the topic was not relevant to the other attendees. What should I do now? If I start reporting all of a sudden, wouldn't that be a red flag? I'm in TX and not paying state income tax now

......ok so that's multiple levels of fraud that now the firm is also party to.

While I generally agree with K1, if you didn't record time to the other states and they're not on your W2, I would do nothing. Do it right going forward.

Do the states ever go after you for this? I'd prefer to not have to deal with this bs obviously

qq: so I had a client out of state for about 4 months in 2016 (later half of 2016) and now have a project from January until after tax season) would I need to file?

A1-probably, likely. Check your W2. That lists the states where the firm withheld and whrrr you'll need to file.

Op I'd file. Witholdings were made so it's likely you owe little (and hopefully small penalties) and perhaps you are even owed a refund. You can always do the return to see the impact before you file.

@KPMG: I didn't report the other states in my time sheet so the w2 came out with only my home state

LOL @ this fraud

@KPMG3: not trying to be argumentative here, but you know the key difference with fraud is the intent right? 🙄
