States have been getting smarter on this issue so document your non rev travel. If a state calls you in to audit where you reside they are going to ask for your non rev travel records, credit card records and cell phone records. Remember your cell phone always knows where you are on any given day.
Also keep in mind its a income tax. If you do more then 50 percent of your actual work in one state you owe taxes in that state. Many Delta pilots found that out the hard way while working in the training department in Atlanta.
