I'm on H1B and currently living in SF. I am trying to change my office to Texas or any income tax free state. Can I use any of these options?
1) I have a LCA for my previous client in Texas near Deloitte office. Would I just use this to change my office and physically be in SF?

2) I have LCA for my home. Can I change my office to Dallas and still work from home in SF? how long does a new LCA take to file when changing offices?

Thanks in advance

Your primary purpose appears to save tax. If you are still physically working from California under both options, you will have to pay state tax in California. Only when you move to TX, you will save on state income tax.

I think even Washington state has no tax. Move from Cal to Wa would be easier than from cal to tx

Don’t you also need to file h1b amendment?

You can. But I think you want to move to Texas to avoid state taxes. If so you would not be able to as you need to report where you are currently residing regardless of where your home office is. So if you stay in CA you cannot claim no state income tax nor would Deloitte allow that

I wish I can switch states and get some tax advantages for a year or so. I got too much tied into my current residency to do that. For those single renters in expensive cities it’s not worth sticking it out in the short term.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
