State tax filing

It depends on your state of residence.

No -  If you are a NJ or PA permanent resident and you are working at a NJ office/branch located in NJ but the company's headquarters is in NY.

In this instance, you will only need to file a NJ resident state income tax return.

Yes - If you are a NJ permanent resident and you are working remotely in NJ for a NY based company.

When it comes to filing state taxes, you will report income in the state were the work is performed However, NY is one of the few states that will also require you to file in NY if you work remotely but the company is based in NY.

You will also need to report your wages in the state where you are a permanent resident (if that state has a personal state income tax filing requirement).

So if you worked in NY or if you worked remotely for a company is located in NY but you are a resident of another state, you will need to file a NY nonresident state income tax return to report your NY-source income. (If NJ is not your state of residence and you worked in NJ , then you will file a NJ nonresident state income tax return to report NJ-source income and an resident state income tax return. This does not apply to PA residents under the wage reciprocal agreement.)

You will then be able to get a tax credit on your resident state income tax return for taxes paid on your nonresident state income tax return. (In TurboTax, this information usually is listed towards the end of your resident state tax return)

You will want to work on your non-resident state tax return first. You will then take a tax credit from your non-resident return on your resident state tax return. (Please note that you will only get a tax credit for your nonresident income taxes paid up to the amount of resident income taxes that would have been paid if the income was earned in your resident state). 

Just follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your non-resident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and credits to your resident states return
