State tax filing

Hi Dave

 

In your response, you stated "you will need to first file a PA non-resident return and then a New Jersey resident tax return. You will get credit in NJ for the tax paid in PA.". 

 

Here is my example: I live in NJ and work in Pennsylvania. My employer withheld $1,800 PA Tax.

 

Assumption: I should file a PA-40 Non-resident tax return reflecting no compensation on line 1a and $1,800 PA Tax withheld on line 13; and then PA will REFUND the $1,800 to me?  Is my assumption correct?

 

Question: Do I enter $1,800 on my NJ tax return on line 43 Credit for income taxes paid to other jurisdictions?  

 

I'm looking forward to your response and appreciate your consideration
