State Guide · South Dakota Resident / Tennessee Employer
Living in South Dakota,
Working for a Tennessee Company
Your tax situation changes significantly depending on whether you work from home or commute to Tennessee. Here's exactly what applies to you.
🏠 If You Work From Home in South Dakota (Fully Remote)
Withholding
Your employer should NOT withhold Tennessee taxes. Since you work remotely from South Dakota which has no income tax, you owe $0 in state income tax. Verify Tennessee taxes are not being withheld.
Filing
No state income tax returns required in either state.
🏢 If You Commute to Tennessee (In-Office)
Withholding
Neither state has income tax. No state withholding should appear on your paystubs.
Filing
No state income tax returns required.
Because tax situations — especially surrounding remote work — can be complex, verify your specific W-2 reporting by consulting a tax professional or your employer's HR payroll system.
