Your employer should not withhold any NJ tax from your pay. You live and work in California, so your income is taxable on your California resident tax return. It doesn't matter if the company is in NJ. What matters is where you work, and where you live.
You need to file Non-resident NJ return to receive a refund for taxes withheld. All your income is taxable on CA resident return.
Make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first.
