Remote worker in NJ (CT employer)

Hi folks,

 

My current employer called the other day to inform me that as of the new year, they'll be coverting me from a NY employee to a CT employee though for now I will remain working remote from my home in NJ.

 

What sort of tax implications should I brace myself for in 2023 (filing in 2024)? Should I have my spouse who works for a NJ company increase their withholding? Can I claim exempt from CT taxes while I work entirely in NJ since there seems to be no Convenience of the Employer rule unlike NY? (Not sure if they'll turn me into hybrid at some point in the new year.) Will NY find it odd that I won't file NY taxes when 2024 rolls around assuming I stay with this employer all year since I've filed NY before for this same employer? (Note that HR is in California, so that's the address on past W2s.)

 

Just trying to get this properly sorted before my next pay period starts since that's the first one that will be in the new year.
