So if working remotely in WA but for a CA based employer, you file as a WA resident... so no state income tax.

No, the jurisdiction in which you work has priority to tax your income, and the jurisdiction in which you live has to provide a tax credit for income tax paid to the jurisdiction in which you work. And both of your examples show that.

For a W-2 employee, where a boss sits is irrelevant. All labor laws and taxes apply for whatever jurisdiction the employee is working in, and having an employee establishes a nexus for the business in that jurisdiction. So an employee working in AZ works for an AZ business even if all the other employees work in CA (who work for a CA business). A business is not restricted to being on one state, it has to comply with the laws and taxes of all the jurisdictions it operates in.

Does anyone know the status of HJR 4200 that was proposed last year by Jim Walsh which would create a statewide property tax cap like Prop 13 in California?
