Hi!

I am moving soon after getting a new job and, given that it’s tax season, am looking for insight on how it has worked for remote workers this tax season.

My employer is based in NYC, and I am thinking of living in NJ. It’s be remote and I’d be remote over 75% of the time, with about 25% in the city. Is anyone in a similar situation? What have you been doing—will it be NYC or NJ tax? Or both?

I’m 100% remote in NJ working for a company based in NYC. I’m taxed the same way I was when I was commuting to the office. I believe you’re taxed in both places but then you get it back on your return.

Same, yes.

I get NYS tax back when I file and wind up paying to NJ which is far less money than the NYS tax.

Be prepared to wait a long time.. NYS delayed the refund we were due by 20 weeks. Suggestion: underpay the state you don't live in.. send a check in April

Did you file on time or early? I file early every year - got mine w/in 3 weeks this time.

March. IIRC, they "couldn't find it" for 8 weeks

YIKES.

They added some insignificant amount because they owed interest.. that starts after some respectably short time. (8 weeks, I think)

I am in similar situation (actually almost exact same) and I file both state taxes. I pay NYS tax and get rebate credits on my NJ taxes. You will not pay NYC tax however, since youre not resident of NYC.
