State tax filing
New Jersey provides an exemption that is applied before coming to the total New Jersey source income. This amount is included before coming to the total of New Jersey taxable income.
The exemption amount is $1,000 for yourself and your spouse, and $1,500 for any dependents. Since you are a part-year resident, these amounts would be prorated based upon your residency in New Jersey. (15 days or more is considered a month)
