Paycheck wtih no state tax?

hi

my employer is based in new jersey and i do IT consulting through them. they also have a branch office in alaska. am currently staffed at a client site in oklahoma.

they are currently running my paycheck with no state tax and i was told that since we have a branch office in alaska, so no state tax in required.

am a travelling consultant, and i have my residence in texas,which also doesnt have a state tax.

so, my questoin is,which one matters here as far as paying the state tax is concerned. is it the location of the employer or the place where i reside.

if i dont pay any state taxes on my paycheck now, will i owe anything to IRS when i file my returns next year

please suggest

It matters where you reside. i live in Fl but my office is out of NC. but always check with a tax adviser.

Both alaska and texas are state tax free states.
