As you likely already know, the main issue is dealing with the city wage tax, which your NY employer is unlikely to be withholding properly. Any local tax accountant worth their salt will know how to handle that.

Are you exercising your equity as it vests? I would screen around that competency more than the remote tax thing.

Wage tax is pretty straightforward. 3.79% of your gross.

Not quite. I believe that if this person traveled to the home office any appreciable number of days, they can exempt those from the tax.

Not if you live in the city, you pay the wage tax even if you work on site in NJ every single day. You are only exempt if you live outside the city, and your office is in the city, but you work on locations outside of the city, you are exempt for those days that you are working in another location, but not from home

I work remotely for a company in CA, and they withheld Philly wage tax automatically without issue after I started. When I worked in Delco, they didn't even do that until I caught the issue myself.
