Regardless of all that, my advice to the taxpayer who asked the original question in this thread is that he should claim the “other state credit” on his NJ tax return, as I’m sure is done by the many thousands of NJ telecommuters who are taxed by NY. I seriously doubt that NJ will deny that credit.
I’ll add that I’ve never seen a question on this forum from an NJ resident telecommuter who was denied the other state credit for taxes paid to NY.
