State tax filing

You would need to contact your employer to see why they did this.  It is very likely an error that they will need to correct as NJ, as your home state, would tax all your income. 

 

 When it comes to living in NJ and working in NY, you would report your full income to both states.  You would file your NY non-resident return first and then take a credit for taxes paid to NY on your NJ resident return.
