I live in New Jersey. I have Washington state income for over $20k, and two NYC W2's for $466 and $198. Do I have to file the two NYC returns?

All of your W-2's must be entered on your federal return. Every W-2 that you received must be reported on your federal tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.

That is correct.

You must declare all of your income on your NJ resident return.  WA does not have a state income tax.

Based on the information you have given and the rules at the link that SweetieJean gave you, you have to file a New York nonresident tax return, in addition to your NJ resident tax return. If you have any New York income at all, no matter how little, you have to file a New York return if your FEDERAL income is more than the New York standard deduction, which it is.

Did you live in New Jersey all year? I'm just wondering because you didn't explain how you had income from Washington while living in New Jersey. If you did not live in NJ all year, your tax filing situation may be a little more complicated.

or did you telecommute for a NJ company?
