State tax filing

No. Both New York and New Jersey have issued guidance that pre-pandemic arrangements regarding state taxation remain in plan for employees who are telecommuting due to COVID-19.

 

In other words, all your income is still taxable to New York as if you went to the office. And it’s still all taxable to NJ because you are a NJ resident.

 

File a nonresident NY return and a resident NJ return and claim a credit on the NJ return for tax paid to NY.

 

New York says: If you are a nonresident whose primary office is in New York State, your days telecommuting during the pandemic are considered days worked in the state unless your employer has established a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location.
