You would owe tax to both NY and NJ on your NJ earnings. NY
will give you credit for the tax you pay to NH, limited to
the proportion of your NY tax liability that relates to that
"double-taxed" income. So net, you end up paying state
income tax on your NJ earnings at the higher of the two
states' average rates for your filing status, income level,
number of exemptions, etc.

The employer should withhold NJ tax from your earnings, not
NY tax. Whether your withholding would increase or decrease
depends on a number of factors, including your total income
level. Last I looked, NJ rates were lower than NY rates
until you get to a certain income level, and then the
relationship switches and the NJ rates are higher. So it
may depend on your income level.

You file as a resident in NY & non res in NJ Your resident
state allows a credit for taxes paid to non resident states
So, your resident state should allow most, if not all the
tax paid to the other state(s)

Differentials in state tax rates are normally the limiting
factor

So, you really don't pay more in state taxes, other than
rate differentials You just have to allocate & both states
do audit these things

You will be required to pay taxes in both states. However, the taxes
you pay to NJ will be a subtratction on your NY return!

Default live in NY, work in NJ tax question

If I were to live in NY, but work in NJ, can anyone explain
exactly how the tax situation would work out? Would I end up
paying more taxes? What about my withholdings in my
paycheck?

Any info appreciated.
