Hi @kbulwin ,
Thank you for joining us today! It is likely that you will need to file a New Jersey Non-Resident return. New Jersey requires non-residents to file a return if their gross income from all sources is great than $10,000 for single taxpayers ($20,000 for married filing joint taxpayers).
Here is a good tool to estimate your New Jersey state taxes. You will need to determine your filing status and estimated income. New Jersey State tax tool Remember this is just an estimate and your actual taxes can vary based on your final information.
TurboTax can help you create the non-resident return when you prepare your taxes. When you are completing the Personal Information section within your Federal return you would select that you "made money in another state" (New Jersey).
In the state section of TurboTax the non-resident New Jersey return will populate and you will be able to answer the Interview questions within TurboTax to allocate your New Jersey income to the state return. You will only be taxed on the New Jersey earned income.
