Supreme Court won't allow New Hampshire to sue Massachusetts over income tax fight
CBSN
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to allow New Hampshire to sue neighboring Massachusetts over an income tax dispute involving people who have been working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
The justices rejected New Hampshire's complaint without comment. The state objects to Massachusetts' collection of income tax from roughly 80,000 New Hampshire residents who are employed by Massachusetts companies, but who have been working remotely. New Hampshire wanted the court to declare Massachusetts' collections unconstitutional and order a refund to people who are paying taxes of just over 5%. It's an especially sensitive issue for New Hampshire, which does not have a state income tax. But New Hampshire also drew support from New Jersey and Connecticut, among others.Rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife are making end-of-life preparations for their 3-year-old son after he was found unconscious in a creek, a close family friend said in updates posted on social media and confirmed to CBS affiliate KUTV.
