State tax filing

Utah gets to tax the full income earned in Utah. NJ as your resident state will also tax that income so you will have a credit for the income taxed in Utah on your NJ return.

You get credit for the lower state tax on the lowest taxable amount.

  • Each state calculates taxable income differently. 
  • Each state has its own tax rate/ system.
  • You get the lowest of both categories as a tax credit.
