If you made a permanent move from NJ to PA during
2016, you will need to file part-year resident returns for both NJ and PA. This
will treat you as a resident of each state only for the days that you lived in
that state so that you can avoid being double-taxed.
Because PA and NJ have a reciprocal agreement related
to wages, just divide your NJ-sourced wages based on the time in each state and report
these amounts separately on your part-year resident state income tax
returns of each state.
So for
state tax purposes, you will need to divide up your wages based on the time you
were a part-year resident of each state. If your employer only withheld taxes
from one state, you may owe taxes in the state for which no state withholdings
were taken out but you may get a refund in the state where extra withholdings
were taken out.
