With some exceptions, you pay state taxes to the state your employer is registered.

I'm not sure why we're complicating it this much.

We are complicating it because it is a very complicated issue for state taxes. Ever look at different state tax laws. They are very different and often contradict each other.

Employers are registered with SOSs in lots of states. In most cases, you are taxed in the location of your performance (home office) so that employer will register in that state if they think the regulatory issues are worth it for that employee. Up until the last decade , this has not been a big issue. Some states have started using the "convenience test" and assigning the state income to the state your "assigned office" location is based on certain criteria. These states do not like having an office in their state but a bunch of the employees move across a state line to do remote work. They want those taxes.
