State tax filing

NJ and PA have a reciprocal tax agreement.  That means that compensation paid to NJ residents by a PA employer is not subject to PA income tax.

Thus, if your entire income from PA consists of employee compensation, it is not necessary for you to file a PA nonresident income tax return.

As a resident of NJ, ALL your income is subject to NJ taxation, regardless of where you earned it.  Therefore you must file an NJ resident return.  Note:  You are entitled to a credit on your NJ return for the Philadelphia City wage tax you paid.  To obtain the credit, file Schedule NJ-COJ with your NJ return.
