What's different for TN holders in Delaware?
State income tax generally does not distinguish between visa categories — it only looks at where you live and where you work, not your immigration status. A few practical notes for TN holders specifically:
- Residency. Most states deem you a tax resident if you are domiciled in the state or spend more than 183 days there during the calendar year, regardless of visa type.
- FICA exemption (federal) ≠ state-tax exemption. TN holders pay state tax on the same basis as US workers — there is no special exemption.
- Standard deduction. As a resident alien for federal purposes, you typically qualify for the state's standard deduction (where one exists) under that state's residency rules.
