Does NJ tax my interest and dividend income if I live in NY and work in NJ

[RBBrittain · Accepted solution]

No. Your resident state (NYS) is entitled to tax ALL your income, including interest & dividends no matter where the account is located. In most cases, non-resident states (NJ) generally can only tax wages and business & gambling income earned in those states; they cannot tax non-resident interest & dividends even if the account was opened there.
