Sort of. First your employer needs to approve of where you’re going to live assuming it is out of state or country. There are a variety of legal and tax implications.
The first remote company I worked for had a list of approved states, for instance. I assume this is common.

Heck, even federal governments that are collecting taxes beg to differ. Good for you if you can keep the secret though, it’s probably illegal in one way or another.

- tjr225 4y agoYep, this is one reason to specifically seek out contract work.
