If I am a New Jersey resident, but live and physically work in Florida will I owe NJ income tax on the money I earned in Florida? Florida doesn't have state income tax.

As long as you are a NJ resident the state of NJ will tax you on ALL your income no matter where you earn it.

@Critter the only thing I have in NJ is a NJ driver license. I don't have a home in NJ. I just moved to FL and got an apartment and a new job down here. Does that mean NJ will still tax me on my income? What if I keep my NJ driver license?

Sounds like its time for you to learn what Florida's law is regarding obtaining a FL drivers' license now that you live in FL. You have thirty days.

If you moved to FL in 2019, you will file a partial year NJ tax return. You do not live in NJ anymore if you do not live, work, or own property there. Your DL does not make you a NJ resident.
