State tax filing

Because your unemployment was from New York, you must file a New York nonresident tax return to report the income.  You do not have to file a Pennsylvania or New Jersey return because unemployment benefits are not taxable by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local governments or the state of New Jersey.

 

Unemployment compensation that is part of your federal adjusted gross income and derived or resulting from employment in New York State is taxable to a nonresident.
