We are a state just like the one your in now.

But you may be able to get them refunded or take a credit against your federal taxes. I live in Florida but work in Virginia. My employer, a contracting company located in Virginia, deducts Virginia income taxes from my pay. However, since my permanent home of record is Florida, I should be able to deduct that or take a credit for it when I file next year. You have to be careful base don residency. You may "consider" yourself a certain kind of resident, but the IRS or the state of Hawaii may see it another way. In my case, my wife still lives, works and maintains our home in Florida. I have no permanent residence in Virginia (I rent a room in a private house), my vehicle is still registered down there, and my payroll information is sent to my home. You may want to discuss this with a qualified CPA or tax attorney, which I am not. ;-)
