A:
As a resident of Arkansas, you are required to pay state income tax on all your earnings, regardless of where you work. This means that even though you spend three days a week working from your home in Tennessee, your entire income is subject to Arkansas state tax.
Since Tennessee does not impose a state income tax on wages, you won't owe any additional state taxes there. Your workdays in Arkansas contribute to your tax obligations in your home state, but they don't change the fact that Arkansas taxes your worldwide income as a resident.
It's important to ensure that your employer withholds the correct amount of Arkansas state tax from your paycheck. You might also want to consult with a tax professional to confirm that you're meeting all your state tax responsibilities and to explore any potential deductions or credits you may be eligible for.
