Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
Since Alaska has no income tax, you won't face double taxation. However, if you physically work in Arizona, you may owe Arizona income tax (Flat 2.5%) and need to file a nonresident Arizona return.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding and unemployment. Unemployment is approximately 2.0% on the first $8,000 of wages.
