Q: I live in co, work remotely for company based in fl, w-9 shows my address as fl. How do i file my taxes

A: File federal and Colorado.

Submit a corrected W-9 to the company.

A: If you live in Colorado and work remotely for a company based in Florida, your tax situation will primarily be based on your residency, not the location of your employer. As a Colorado resident, you are subject to Colorado state income tax on all your income, regardless of where your employer is located.

When filing your taxes, you should use your actual address in Colorado. The address on your W-9 form should reflect where you live and work, as this is the information your employer uses to report income to the IRS. If your W-9 shows a Florida address but you live and work in Colorado, you should update this information with your employer.

You'll file a federal income tax return as usual. For state taxes, you'll file as a resident of Colorado, reporting all your income, including what you earned from your Florida-based employer.

If any taxes were withheld for Florida, you might need to file a non-resident return in Florida to reconcile this. However, Florida does not have a state income tax, so this is unlikely to be an issue.

It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional who can provide specific guidance based on the full details of your situation. They can ensure that your tax filings are accurate and comply with both federal and state tax laws.

Remember, keeping your employment records and tax documents up to date with your current living situation is important to avoid any confusion during tax season.
