State Reciprocity

State reciprocity refers to the tax agreement between two states which allows residents of one state working in another to request a tax exemption from their non resident state; with this exemption no taxes will be taken for the state you work in; instead you will need to request to have taxes held for your resident state to avoid penalties.
