Taxation Without Representation Meets the 21st Century

Taxing authorities are attempting to tax remote workers who no longer commute, creating legal and constitutional issues. The unconstitutional actions of states like Massachusetts and Ohio in taxing nonresident workers are depriving smaller municipalities of revenue and violating due process. The Supreme Court’s decision not to address the matter leaves remote workers vulnerable to unjust taxation. The outcome of ongoing cases will determine how remote workers nationwide are taxed, with potentially negative implications for their income.
