To verify or find out if you live in a school district or city with an income tax enter your address at:

Newark has a city income tax and a mandatory filing requirement. If you live in the city limits, you must file. You cannot use TurboTax to do a Newark City return.

If you only work in Newark, you do not need to file.

 You normally only have to file a return in the city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the city you work in, but you do not file a return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't withhold enough ( both highly unusual). The city you live in will allow a credit or partial credit for the withheld tax you paid to the work location city.
