State tax filing

New Jersey currently

 

In hindsight, there were some things I did that were just ignorant - as an example, the week after I moved, I sold some stocks, so now I'm paying the capital gains on both the federal AND state taxes.  If I'd been smarter, I would have sold them prior to moving so I wouldn't have to pay state income taxes.  But even though they're stocks that accumulated in value over the last few years, I understand that the fact I sold them DAYS after moving, I have to claim the full capital gain for my New Jersey taxes.

 

That part I understand, and makes sense - but the work bonuses I want to be sure I'm doing correctly
