Rochester, NY asked in Tax Law for New York

Q: Potentially moving business to a different state

Have a Delaware C business in NYS. Maintain two residences, one in NYS and one in Mass. May end up establishing residency in Mass. Does it make sense/do I have to also move the business to Mass. I will still have remote employees 1-2 working remotely in NYS. I know i will be responsible for NYS taxes for the employee(s) but trying ti figure out what makes the most sense overall economically. Thanks

A: Ask your accountant.

Although I am an inactive member of the Massachusetts BAR I limit my practice to New York.

My pedestrian impression is that overall Massachusetts might have more protection for employees. Know nothing about taxes in either state and rely on tax professionals.
