How a bonus is taxed?

[abriklin]

I had moved from NJ to FL in 2024. FL has no state tax while NJ does.  In 2025 got the bonus from my old NJ job (for the previous year work) and NJ tax was withheld. Obviously I will be filing 2025 taxes as a resident of FL and non NJ resident. Should I expect to get the NJ tax back or because the paying company is NJ based I have to pay NJ taxes even if I no longer live there in 2025 (and bonus was paid in 2025)?

thanks

Unfortunately, you will have to pay the nonresident tax on the bonus.  It is considered New Jersey income if the bonus is the result of your work in New Jersey.  See page 6 2024 Form NJ-1040NR Instructions.
