Yes, as a Pennsylvania resident, you need to file a state income tax return.
Because you had New Jersey taxes withheld, you need to file a tax return on this state as well.
However, because these states have tax reciprocity agreement, you will report your NJ sourced income as $0 and receive a full refund for the tax withheld from your wages.
Going forward, you need to change your withholding to PA, so you will only need to file one tax return.
