30+ years ago, I worked and lived in Massachusetts. My office-mate lived in NH, a state with no income tax. I had to pay MA tax wherever I worked. When we went on a business trip to another state (e.g. Florida), I still had to pay MA tax, but he did
not pay MA tax on wages accrued outside of Massachusetts.
With COVID, I believe MA tried to rescind that option as a lot of NH residents were working from home. I don't know if they were successful. What's the status of working from home when your office is physically located in another state?

There is no hard and fast answer. Each state has its own rules for determining what income is subject to taxation. Some states changed their rules during COVID (either temporarily or permanently) and others did not. For instance, NY has always maintained
that if the official worksite is located in NY, the salary is subject to NY income tax unless the employee works outside the state at the necessity of the employer. So, telecommuting from NJ doesn't escape NY income tax. Other states limit their
imposition of income tax to the salary earned while physically within the state.
