they should hire you under different contract where you are responsible for your taxes, not the employer, something like freelance contractor, not familiar with US law

lowering salaries because company must adjust your taxes is lame excuse

They’re lowering salary for a different reason.

But you have to tell them what state you have residency so they can withhold income taxes for the right state and not be liable for tax evasion.

You’re conflating two separate things
