State tax filing

You do not really need to select that you were a resident of PA working in another state as NJ income is taxed as PA income.  Basically, the only issue is the employer did not withhold for the correct state.  

 

You would not be entitled to any credits for taxes paid to another state, so select that you were a resident of PA working in another state or country and your employer did not withhold PA income tax may or may not apply.

 

When I create a PA/NJ return and go through the questions I am not seeing this particular question or answers. I do get one statement that says "based on what we know from your federal return, in addition to making money in PA, you also made money in NJ"  This money gets taxed twice by both PA and the other state, but don't worry if you see double taxed income as you go through your PA return.  Later on we'll help you get a credit that offsets paying double taxes"

 

 

Can you provide more detail on where you are seeing this?
