I don't owe any taxes in the state I live in, but I'm getting a refund in the state I work in. Did I do something wrong?

For the past two years, I've owed money to NJ but would get a refund from PA that typically cancels it out. This year, it looks like I don't owe NJ anything, but I'm still getting a refund from PA. Everything looks fine... do you think I missed something?

How did you report the income?  Pennsylvania and New Jersey are reciprocal states, which means you only have to report and pay to your resident state, but if you were filing the two returns, you would pay your nonresident state, then get a credit for the taxes paid to your resident state.
