Multi state Taxes

pgarehgrat — Mon, 03 May 2021 22:09:41 GMT

I live in New Jersey and I work for a company based in New York City. My regular office is in New York City, but it’s closed on March 18th 2020 because of the coronavirus and I work remotely from home for rest of the year 2020. How does this impact the reporting of my 2020 taxes for both states? Is the income earned while working remotely considered as earned only in New Jersey or is my total pay still considered totally New York income?

Your total bill is still considered totally New York income. 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."

You can still claim a credit on your NJ return for tax paid to NY.
