[Hidden-tech] Working remotely for out of state company

[R. David Murray]

I don't know any details about the employee situation myself (as I'm a
consultant/contractor), but one of the companies I work for ended up not
being able to hire someone who lived in Missouri because they didn't
have an office in that state and so "the tax implications were too
complex".  So my advice, if you are an employee, would be to contact the
company who hired you with this question, as they will probably know
the answer (unless they too have never done this before :)

I plan on talking to a tax accountant/lawyer, but also figured I'd ask this list since it's likely that some of you are in the same boat.
