It depends on your total income. We’d have to know how much you made in total to help you.
New Jersey counts your gross income from everywhere for the entire year for your filing threshold.
Generally, you will have to file a nonresident return if your income from everywhere is $10,000 if single or $20,000 if you are married or a civil union couple filing joint return, or head of household, qualifying widow(er)/surviving CU partner.
See Nonresidents
Here are some things you can check:
Verify that you are filing a nonresident NJ return in TurboTax.
In the New Jersey section, you’ll see a screen “Other situations that may apply to you.” Check the box I need to verify my main form or residency selection.
Then continue. On “New Jersey Main Return” it should say New Jersey Nonresident Individual Income Tax Return.
Also, double-check to make sure you have NJ in Box 15 of the W-2 screen in TurboTax.
If you have no NJ tax due but had $63.90 of NJ tax withheld, you can file a return to get a state refund.
