Work from anywhere. Track every day.
Working remotely from multiple states triggers state nexus, withholding obligations, and potential double taxation. Tax Days tracks every state you spend time in, projects when you'd cross residency or de-minimis thresholds, and exports audit-ready records.
What you're up against
Convenience-of-employer states tax you anyway
If your employer is in NY, NJ, NE, PA, DE, AR, OR, or CT and you 'work from FL for your convenience,' your old state may still tax 100% of your wages.
State source income for non-residents
Work 30 days from California, CA wants tax on 30/250 of your wages. Most states have a de minimis (CA = 0, MA = 10, IL = 30), and some have none.
Your remote work creates employer nexus
Your presence creates state-tax obligations for your employer. Big companies handle it; small ones may push back if it's surprise work.
Vacation work-from-anywhere can become 50+ days
10 trips × 5 days each = 50 days. Many states' de minimis is below that. Suddenly you owe a non-resident return.
What Tax Days does for you
Tracks every state where you spend time, with day-count totals per state.
Handles the difference between residence-state day count and work-state day count.
Projects when you'd cross a state's de-minimis threshold (10 days, 23 days, 30 days, 183 days).
Tracks your home-state residency threshold simultaneously (184 for NY/NJ/MA/CT, 9-month for CA, etc.).
Exports a per-state PDF with day count and trip log, what your accountant needs for non-resident returns.
Notifies you 7, 3, and 1 days before you'd cross any threshold.
Stays on your iPhone. No servers, no accounts. Optional iCloud sync.

Common questions
Can working remotely from another state make me a tax resident there?
It can, if you stay long enough or put down roots. Many states treat you as a statutory resident once you keep a place to live there and cross a day threshold (often 183 or 184 days). Shorter stays can still create nonresident filing obligations for income earned while working in the state.
What's the difference between domicile and statutory residency?
Domicile is your one true home, judged by facts like where your home, family, and life are centered. Statutory residency is mechanical: enough days plus a place to live. You can be domiciled in one state and a statutory resident of another in the same year, which is how double taxation happens.
How many days can I work from another state before it matters?
There is no single safe number: a handful of states have explicit day thresholds for residency, and rules for nonresident income tax can start from the first working day. What protects you is a clean record of where you worked, so you can answer precisely rather than guess.
Do I need to track days if I never stay anywhere long?
Yes, that's exactly when a record matters. If your year is spread across several states, no single state is obviously home, and the state you left has the incentive to argue you never really left. A day log is the evidence that settles it.
