Remote worker payroll tax jurisdiction spreadsheet and nexus review file — "Double-withholding state income tax for interstate remote workers"
Why the manual spreadsheet breaks financial controls and how a deterministic workflow replaces it.
Remote-worker work and resident states are maintained in a jurisdiction spreadsheet, and reciprocal withholding is applied only if someone remembers the agreement.

Three-stage comparison between manual workbook reconciliation and automated rule-based execution.
Work and resident states live in a sheet; dual withholding is the default.
Interstate employees are withheld twice; refunds replace the control.
HRIS locations apply the stored agreement before the pay run posts.
A pay line cannot withhold in both states when a stored agreement covers that pair on the check date.
