    Default Employer's EIN and Address are for Different Entities on My W-2

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Texas and Louisiana

    I am a Florida resident. In 2012 I was employed by a company in Louisiana that was purchased by a Fench company with their US headquarters based in Houston, TX. I have remained employed performing the same roll with the new company which is based in Houston. All of my work has been performed offshore or internationaly and not on land.

    When I received my W2 for 2013 it showed my employers correct name and address as Houston, TX.

    However, the EIN listed on my W2 is listed as my old employer located in Louisina. Besides my federal earnings statement, it has a Louisiana wage statement as well for my full wages for 2013.

    No LA taxes were withheld from my pay in 2013. As a FL resident working for a TX based company I wouldn't expect them to be. I am worried now that LA may seek taxes on my full wages since the EIN is listed as a LA company.

    Can my employers address and offices be listed (correctly) as Houton, TX on my W2 and the EIN be from a different state? Is there a chance I will be liable for taxes dues in LA?

    Thanks for you thoughts ahead of time...

    You need to bring it to the attention of your employer that they made a mistake. Box 15 should say FL because that is where you live and work. They should issue you a corrected W2.

    While I live in FL, I work on an offshore rotation (month on / month off), not in FL.

    I am salaried and do get paid during my time at home in FL. Not sure if that factors in at all.

    Thank you for your advice. I'll touch base with the office.
