Reciprocal agreements allow residents of one state to work in a neighboring state while only paying income taxes to their state of residency. This simplifies tax time for people who live in one state, but work in another by requiring them to file only one state tax return. If the state where you work and the state where you live have a reciprocal agreement, you are exempted from income taxes on any wages earned in the state where you work. You only have to pay taxes to the state where you live.
