State tax filing

Alright, so an update now that I've gotten my first paycheck of 2023.

 

I filled out the CT w4 on 1/1, telling them I'm exempt from CT tax. I also filled out the NJ w4 the same day, telling them my wages are subject to NJ tax.

 

Now here's my confusion:

  • There is withholding for CT Paid Family Leave Insurance
  • There is no withholding for NJ UI
  • There is no withholding for NJ FLI
  • There is no withholding for NJ SWF

 

It is accurate for the income tax withholding as I do not have CT income tax withheld, but I do have NJ tax withheld. Other than federal income tax, social security tax, and medicare tax, the only other things affecting my take home are my 401k and other benefits I elected to take.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether these other withholdings (or lack thereof) is accurate for my scenario? My spouse works for a NJ employer, so I see the above NJ taxes on their paystubs, which is how I know about them.
