- States have a hodge podge method of trying to collect the maximum possible
- amount that they can. Typically they will compute your taxes assuming you
- worked the entire year in their State and then prorate your taxes based upon
- actual amounts earned. This means that even if you only earned one paycheck
- it could be taxed at the States highest rate.
