<prompt> Human: i work as a touring lighting designer for bands. recently started working with a company that takes out taxes for each state that i work in and sends me a w-2 for each state.what should I do?some of the w-2s are no more than 5.00  <response>: Find out whatever CPA everyone else in the office uses and get a referral. There are 31 sets of rules to know about what to do, ranging from Missouri 600 as a non-resident, dont bother unless you had withheld, in which case file to get it back to NH no income tax on earnings to the states neighboring your home state which might or might not have tax agreements with yours. Im guessing thats still a good 20 returns.Hopefully your HR was on the ball and knows how to deal with this stuff.I suppose in theory you could download those puppies from HR and do it yourself, relying on the magic of software to know the rules, but youd probably have to spend 20state to do so.
