First year doing taxes residency ?

[user17656733235]

I was a temporary resident for NY then NJ till I moved to PA where I got my first job in PA at August should I report income tax to the other states or only the state that I had income from which is PA. 

And what about part year residency or full year what should I choice became a resident in PA in AUGUST ?

You will only report income in the state that you lived in or worked in.  So if you were a resident of NY then NJ for a short period of time and did not receive any income during that time, you would not  need to file a tax return for NJ or NY.

If you started receiving income one a resident of PA, then you would file as a part year resident since you were only a resident of PA for part of the year.

When you say you were a temporary resident, does that mean you came to the US from another country so that is the reason you had your first job in PA or did you recently graduate or move out from living with your parents and that is why you had your first job?  If it is because you came from another country, then be sure that you are considered a Resident for tax purposes prior to filing with TurboTax.  If you did not meet the substantial presence test or are a Green card holder, then you would need to file a 1040 NR which TurboTax does not support, but our partner Sprintax.com does.  They can help you with both your federal and your state returns.

I don’t remember that I put part year residence but on my tax return it shows dates from - to -    Is that correct ?

[Vanessa A]

Yes. If it shows a start and ending date, then it is likely that you did file as part year.  Unlike some states that have a specific form for residents, one for non residents and another for part year residents, there is only one main form for PA, whether a resident, Part year, or Non-Resident so the box that you were a part year resident would have been checked if you saw a -to- date.
