No given the reciprocity between NJ and PA no return is required to be filed for NJ.
You are correct.
The only reason would have been to get a refund, which you said you have none.
Thank-you, Michael. I also had a part-time job in California where I go to college, and they also withheld no state tax, must I file a state tax form for California?
You are a nonresident
You have both of the following:
California source income.
Income from all sources that is more than the amount defined in this chart. Which starts at $16,597 (so if the part time job is less, than NO CA return required). <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/fileRtn/">https://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/fileRtn/</a>
Thank-you again. OK, so according to TurboTax, I will owe PA $182.00 even though my total income from NJ and PA is less than $6,000. Does that seem accurate?
f your income range is $0 and over, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 3.07%.

Dear Michael, you're being very helpful. One last question (I hope!), I am a single dependent of my parents, so unless I misread the Cali source income chart incorrectly, it says I have to file if I make more than my standard deduction, which the chart you referred me to says is over $1,050. So, I do have to file California??
Yes, you are correct, I overlooked you being a dependent on another return. I am sure you are a great college student as reading tax rules, can be like reading greek at times. Sorry for the slip-up. Do the non-resident CA after the Federal and PA will give you a credit for taxes paid to another state (CA).
