Live in Texas, company is in New Jersey. How do I pay State income tax?
Hello all, I live in Texas. And working remotely for my company which is in New Jersey.
I visit my company in New Jersey 4 or 5 times each year. Spend less than 20 days each year in New Jersey.
Do I need to pay New Jersey State tax?
Thank you!

State tax filing
NJ can tax you as a non-resident on your earnings from the days you physically work in NJ. So you need to keep track of the number of those days.

If you are liable to pay NJ taxes you should have tax withheld.

State tax filing
Q. Should my company withhold my New Jersey state income tax for every pay check?
A. No. But, it's not unreasonable for them to do so, in your situation. Ideally, they should only withhold for the pay periods, you actually work in NJ. But that may be expecting too much from them. You might try adjusting your NJ-W4 to the minimum withholding.

Don't have tax withheld.
If your tax is low enough, withholding is not required ( I forget the threshold).
If it is a too large, make NJ estimated tax payments to avoid any penalties.
