New Hampshire v. Massachusetts: On October 19, 2020, the state of New Hampshire sued the commonwealth of Massachusetts, arguing that Massachusetts’ continued taxation of New Hampshire residents who were working remotely from home as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic was unconstitutional. In its complaint, New Hampshire argued that Massachusetts’ "extraterritorial assertion of taxing power is unconstitutional," as Massachusetts’ "claims the authority to tax New Hampshire residents who earn their incomes from activities they undertake solely within New Hampshire," which does not levy an income tax. New Hampshire alleged that Massachusetts' policy "subjects Granite Staters to simple but unconstitutional confiscation" New Hampshire asked the U.S. Supreme Court to prohibit Massachusetts from imposing its state income tax on New Hampshire residents working remotely for Massachusetts-based companies. Upon filing suit, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said, "Massachusetts cannot balance its budget on the backs of our citizens, punish our workers for making the decision to work from home and keep themselves and their families and those around them safe." Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) said the following in response to the lawsuit: "Maybe I’ll reach out to my friend Chris Sununu who, when he’s not busy suing me, may be interested in having a conversation."[28][29][30]
