Get a forwarding mail box from Manhattan and tell your company that's where you live. I mean seriously if the company's gonna dick around w/ salaries like that. I mean other than mailing tax documents is it really their business where you live?

> Get a forwarding mail box from Manhattan and tell your company that's where you live. Lying to your company about things like that is a great way to get fired. Everyone should ignore this terrible advice.

  It may also be illegal. Don't companies have to deduct and remit income taxes to the state of worker's residence?

  Also, it might screw with your tax withholdings etc.

  So don't lie, actually have some property. Sublet an apartment with a dozen of your friends for $200/month. Make it back on airbnb. Most companies don't care if you have multiple properties in several states, they'd have to fire all their executives if they did.

You'll end up paying New York income tax too, which is quite hefty.

  And you'll not be paying your real local income tax, which is quite illegal.

    How people with multiple properties do that?

      Such folks normally designate one property as their "primary residence", commonly defined as a place where one sleeps 183 nights out of the year. That's where one pays local taxes.

        So it's somewhat possible. Interesting what to do if one have three properties and you 'sleep' in them 1/3 of the year. More complex question about 'digital nomads'. I personally live in one place for many years already. But I'm curious what people do in more dynamic housing situations.

In situations where a primary address is ambiguous based on number of nights, many tax authorities will consider other aspects, such as the address you have listed on government documents, where your family lives, whether you use any of the properties for income or pleasure, where you work, etc. Also, if you change primary residences, many tax authorities will simply pro-rate your taxes for the period of time that you lived there.
