SEC. 2. LIMITATIONS ON STATE AND LOCALITY WITHHOLDING AND TAXATION OF 
              EMPLOYEE INCOME.

    (a) In General.--No part of the wages or other remuneration paid to 
an employee who performs duties in more than one State or locality 
shall be subject to the income tax laws of any State or locality other 
than--
            (1) the State or locality of the employee's residence; and
            (2) the State or locality in which the employee is 
        physically present performing duties for more than 60 days 
        during the calendar year in which the income is taxed.
    (b) Wages or Other Remuneration.--Wages or other remuneration paid 
in any calendar year are not subject to State or locality income tax 
withholding and reporting unless the employee is subject to income tax 
under subsection (a). Income tax withholding and reporting under 
subsection (a)(2) shall apply to wages or other remuneration paid as of 
the commencement date of duties in the State or locality during the 
calendar year.
    (c) Operating Rules.--For purposes of determining an employer's 
State income tax withholding and information return obligations--
            (1) an employer may rely on an employee's determination of 
        the time expected to be spent by such employee in the States or 
        localities in which the employee will perform duties absent--
                    (A) actual knowledge of fraud by the employee in 
                making the estimate; or
                    (B) collusion between the employer and the employee 
                to evade tax;
            (2) if records are maintained by an employer recording the 
        location of an employee for other business purposes, such 
        records shall not preclude an employer's ability to rely on an 
        employee's determination as set forth in paragraph (1); and
            (3) notwithstanding paragraph (2), if an employer, at its 
        sole discretion, maintains a time and attendance system which 
        tracks where the employee performs duties on a daily basis, 
        data from the time and attendance system shall be used instead 
        of the employee's determination as set forth in paragraph (1).
