So I have a question. I live in NJ but only worked in PA in 2023. I only have one job and it was in PA and I didn't make any income in the NJ area. I am filing my taxes but it is stating that I owe about $600 to $700 dollars in NJ taxes. I am a full-time graduate student and I am paying school out of pocket towards tuition and have been a full time student since August 2021. I contribute to my job's 403b retirement fund at 15%. I also make payments towards my student loans and received a 1098-E regarding the principal interest I've paid. Compared to the previous two years, I made significantly less and have only made about 46k in the year 2023. I know NJ and PA have a reciprocity agreement. Despite these factors, I am unsure why I am being told that I owe NJ taxes? Is there anyone that can help and explain this to me? This is my first time owing taxes.
