Federal taxes do not go thru states. They go from taxpayer to federal government at tax time, and from payroll processor to federal government for withholdings.
You want states out there hacking transactions?
Most payroll providers aren’t based in the same state, and most corporations don’t only operate in one state. Hell, most are headquartered in Delaware.
For the vast amount of Americans that money doesn’t touch any states besides Delaware.
Like, there’s a lot of reasons why what you’re suggesting just can’t happen.
Not sure how this would work as most corporations aren’t isolated to a single state and they’re the ones sending your tax dollars to the feds via payroll deductions. I see this as being similar to banks who won’t allow dispensaries to have bank accounts since they’re still illegal federally even if it’s perfectly legal within the state.

I don’t mean legally, I mean “just doing it” regardless of the law.

How would they “just do it”?

This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks! A simple “no” wasn’t very informative.

I guess it would, at most, only work with people who get paid from the same state.
