When employees live in a different state than the one where they work, or an employee performs services in more than one state, the withholding rules can become quite complicated. There are reciprocal withholding agreements between States which must be considered and in the absence of those agreements, the "Nexus" or business connection between the company and the State where the employee resides must also be factored into the equation. \\ \\

The Symmetry Tax Engine maintains a list of all the reciprocal agreements between the States, using the Nexus method. This provides a list of the Nexus relationships for the employer. Based upon the residency of the employee, the locations where the employee worked, the Nexus relationships of the employer, and the status of the employee having filed a Certificate of Non-Residency, the STE will determine the correct locations where taxes should be withheld.\\ \\

In addition, a State may decide to withhold taxes on a resident employee who works in a different State, if that State does not have a State withholding tax, or does not require withholding for non-residents, such as the District of Columbia. Also, States may require that tax be withheld on employees working in a different (non-resident) State. In this situation, a State may allow a credit for the tax which is withheld in the non-resident work State. The non-resident work State tax would be subtracted from the tax computed for the resident state. \\ \\
The default value for all Nexus settings is false. In order to define the Nexus relationship of the employer to an individual state, the Nexus for each State must be set.
