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 Virginia, you may owe Virginia income tax (2%-5.75%) and need to file a nonresident Virginia return.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding and unemployment from day 1. Unemployment applies to the first $8,000 of wages.
