Question on running state tax in texas

Question

hi

i live in chicago doing consulting and my employer is based in california. they also have a registered office in texas.

my employer has been running my payroll with texas state tax, to

avoid NO state tax on my payroll.

what sort of problem i might face when i file my returns next year. shoudl i still owe anything to illinois when i file my returns next yr?

Answer 1

You are going to owe Illinois.

Also, you would have problems if you should ever get laid off as your employer is not paying Illinois unemployment either.
