Generally speaking, you owe income tax in both the state where you work and the state where you live. Since the state where you live does not have an income tax, you would owe tax in the state where you work only. You would file a non-resident return in the state where you work.

Sometimes individual pairs of states have negotiated reciprocal tax agreements exempting each other's residents from taxes on their wages. In all cases, both states have income taxes.

When you have to pay taxes to two different states on the same income, usually one of the states (usually the one where you live) lets you claim a credit for some or all of the taxes paid to the other state.

If you were a resident of the state, yes.

The state where you live (if it has an income tax) taxes your income from anywhere in the world. All other states tax income you earned from sources in those states.

So if, for example, you work in New York and live in New Jersey, then the income from your job will be taxable in both New York and New Jersey. (New Jersey will give you a credit for some of the taxes paid to New York.) All other income (investments, pension payments, interest on your bank accounts, etc) will be taxable in New Jersey.

Yes, unless the other state does not have an income tax or it specifically exempts your winnings from its tax. For example, California exempts California state lottery winnings from its income tax.

You also pay tax in your state of residence at the time you receive (or are entitled to receive) the winnings. Generally, one of the states will allow a credit for the taxes paid to the other state.

You claim your residency generally where you live, however, if you own property like a house in another state, you may claim

The state your home is located is where you pay your taxes as that is where you have a vested interest.

Yes, if you work in two states, you will have to pay state taxes in both states. You could also be eligible for a state tax refund in both states.

What is an example federal?

it is like if one state makes a law an other state does not have to allow itA good example is the United States. The Federal level is composed of the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court. While Federal Laws do not automatically trump what the states do, they can if state law conflicts with Federal law. This is why slavery and segregation are no longer legal... the Federal government has forbidden the states to have laws allowing for it. Nor can states print their own money or set up tolls on borders to other states.

Does the federal government have the right to tell states how to spend federal funding?

Yes: under the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the federal government may condition a state's receipt of federal funds on the state's commitment to spend that money in ways consistent with federal policy. But the Tenth Amendment generally prohibits the federal government from commandeering state resources by forcing a state to participate in any federal program.

How have federal mandates allowed the federal government to control the traditional police powers of the state?

Money, money, money. The federal government provides monetary help to states for various matters normally within a state's own jurisdiction. But, this help always comes with conditions or mandates that the states must meet or they don't get the money. For example, a basic state police power is setting speed limits on local roads. The federal government has no authority over local state highways, because they are not involved in interstate commerce. Say the federal government believes a speed limit should not exceed 60 miles per hour, but the state believes 65 is just fine. The federal government can offer financial assistance to states for maintenance of local roads but mandate that in order to receive that money, the speed limit cannot exceed 60 miles perhour. States that need this money are now forced to comply with federal guidelines rather than its own, even though the federal government has no power to set speed limits on local highways. This happens in many other areas as well. Education, housing, health care and many others. If a state does not go along with a federal mandate, no money.
