Here is a link to the Texas form. It does not matter where your client is, who’s paying you etc. It is in which state did you work and if your work there (even selling services) meets the test for establishing Nexus in that state while you were working there. Run the test and see if you will qualify for Nexus in Texas!

The key to the tech is how it is used. You can only point a camera in one direction with a set field of view. But if you record a scene in 360Ëš view, left right and up and down, imagine recording a video with all views and allowing the viewer to choose which direction they were looking. Go to any AT&T store and look at the Samsung headset. It’s pretty cool. It is ok with stills, but I see a video being created where any view is visible…it’s up to you to choose where to look. Takes more planning because all views should or could have action going on critical or ancillary to the story.
And you could have a lot of fun with it as well by setting up multiple storylines that utilize the same script and it’s all how you set it up. Depending on where you set your vision you get a unique storyline. Then make the different setups interact in some unique way.
Possibilities really open up to creative storytelling.

It’s not about paying sales tax on things you buy…it’s owing a state tax on income you make in that state, rther than paying that tax in the state where you company is located. To determine if you have Nexus in the state you travel and thereby are required to pay income tax to that state, and in some cases pay workers comp for the employees you send there, you have to fill out a Nexus test form for each state you did business in.
I ran the test for all the states we traveled to for shooting and none of them met the requirements for Nexus mostly due to not meeting their minimum sales number, usually $50k.
Look up Nexus requirements for any state that you may have traveled to do a shoot and you may owe taxes in that state just because you went to that state to make money/conduct business there.

See that’s not what Nexus means. It means that ANY business you conduct in another state might require you to pay income tax (not sales tax) in that state….as if you had a branch location in that state. State laws vary, but this is info I received from my accountant:
————————————————————————————————–
– Sending an employee or subcontractor to perform work in another state can give you nexus, depending on the rules of that state. This is true whether or not the sale is to a client from that state or not, and causes some difficulty in apportioning a specific sale among the amounts of work done on various parts of the project.– For Sales Tax purposes you need to see if you had nexus in HI, NM, SD, or WV. If so, then we need to find out if there is a sales tax exemption for Film Production, and if so, what that entails. Possibly, you need to file sales tax in those 4 states. You may even have to charge sales tax on items that are not taxable in your home state.
– For Income Tax Purposes, we need to define which states you were in, and find out their rules on nexus for income tax.
– We haven’t even gone this far yet, but if we find you have nexus for income tax purposes, this will likely also mean that the employees you send to those states will have to have their paychecks go to multiple states. As well as having Workers Comp in those states.
——————————————————————————————————So employees would have to have payroll checks issued in the states where we travel?
As you can see it’s much more than paying tax on items you buy. Its paying taxes in the state where you performed your duties on the income you made while you were there. In most cases it would be a portion of the entire amount that you billed the client on the final invoice. The state you travel to (in those cases that determine that your company has Nexus there) wants you to pay corporate income tax on the money you made while working there….even having to pay workers comp while you are there.
This seems completely ludicrous given the fact that we are told to travel to those states, not choosing to go there and that we are not selling anything in that state.

Here’s what I know:
If you are a service provider it is advantageous to understand
whether or not you are required to register for sales and use tax
purposes in the state and locality where you are providing the
service. In most cases, a service provider performing a service in
a taxing jurisdiction creates nexus. In some cases, if the service
you provide is not subject to tax, the state will not require you
to register and obtain a sales tax permit number. However, in the
majority of cases, the taxability of the service is not relevant and
registration is mandatory based on having significant nexus in the
state and locality. Speculatively speaking, the state wants to ensure
that any use tax associated with the tangible personal property that
is sold or used in performing the service is properly accounted for
and remitted to the state.
The other important issue to consider for purposes of nexus is
what the service provider is doing in the state and how long and
how often they are there. The answer to these questions can
determine in many cases whether or not a service provider is
required to (or should) register.
If you are using contract labor to perform a service such as repair
or installation as a part of sales transaction with your customers,
it is extremely important to clearly understand the relationship or
affiliation with the service provider, and to ascertain how the taxing
jurisdiction defines the relationship or affiliation for sales and use
tax nexus purposes.Rich Rubasch

Actually what happened was my editor updated the CC 2015 apps but did NOT update to the latest Yosemite and that was the issue….after a day of troubleshooting, a simple Yosemite update solved the problem.
Back to work people!
