State tax filing
NJ residents are not subject to PA income tax on their W-2 salaries or wages. The two states have tax reciprocity.
If PA taxes were mistakenly withheld from your pay, then in order to obtain a refund you must file a non-resident PA tax return on which you declare zero PA income, in order to obtain a refund. You cannot claim a credit on your NJ return for taxes incorrectly withheld for PA; you must claim a refund from PA.
