Arizona is one of the most naturally-diverse states in America. From the Grand Canyon and red rocks of Sedona, to the giant cactuses of Saguaro National Park in Tucson to the mountain waterfalls in Tonto National Forest, Arizona is a beautiful state.

Thousands of Workampers are hired every year. When they aren’t working, they are hiking, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, rafting and biking. There are a plethora of state and national parks, monuments, quaint towns, wineries and restaurants serving authentic Mexican food as well as delicacies from around the world.

Why can two Workampers (or two couples) work at the same place, for the same employer, yet have very different experiences? Assuming they all have the skills to do their jobs, expectations and attitude make the difference.

We can get in trouble by thinking that things will go according to our expectations even when a Workamper employer spells out the job and answers your questions during the interview.

Many RVers, and those who Workamp in particular, work in multiple states during the year. How does that impact filing your taxes?  The biggest factors to consider when you travel and work are the following:

• Domicile
• Physically working in a state
• Length of time spent in each state

Domicile

Even though the specific situation that this article is based on happened some years ago, the message here still rings true for today's Workampers.
