No. Assuming this move is permanent and not related to Covid-19, you must file a part year Arizona return (1/1-7/14/20) and a part year New Jersey return (7/15-12/31). Your wages will be taxed based on where you earned the income. Therefore, you should ultimately end up getting a refund in Arizona because you overpaid and pay tax to New Jersey because you underpaid.
Generally, income is taxed in the state in which it is performed. If you continue working for this Arizona employer, please have them withhold New Jersey state income tax going forward.
The first thing you want to do is make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, please make sure your resident state of New Jersey is listed under your name.
- Then, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure Arizona is selected from the drop-down.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
- Click on State on the left hand side.
- Add Arizona if not already on the list.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
