You will have to file a New Jersey resident return, since you live in New Jersey. New Jersey will tax you on all of your income, including the money paid to you by the company in New York. If the work for which the company in New York paid you for was performed in New York, then you will need to file a New York nonresident return and pay taxes to New York. Any taxes paid to New York (the nonresident state) can be claimed as a credit against your New Jersey taxes on the same income. |

If it's a 1099, then I highly doubt any state taxes were withheld from anywhere. You are considered self-employed. You will file a return for the state where you live, NJ. However, if any of the work you did was located in NY, then you need to file a NY return as well. If the company that sent your 1099 simply exists in NY, but you did no work outside of NJ, then you only file a NJ return. |

Jseah is correct. Watch out for the NYC UBT issues if the work was preformed in NYC! |

That depends upon where you work, not where the company is located.
If you work in NJ, you only pay NJ State Income Tax.
If you actually work in NY, you'll have to file returns in both states. File the NY non-resident return and pay the taxes there. Then file your NJ resident return, you'll get a credit from NJ for the NY taxes paid. |

On your Jersey return, it will have an area where taxes are paid to other cities. Go see an accountant. They will help you to pay the right taxes to the right cities. Every town has different tax codes and rates. New York, (those greedy bastids) will still want some taxes. That's why I live in Ohio now. |

You must pay taxes in the state you work in. For example, if a professional football player for the Saints plays a game in Atlanta they would have to pay taxes in GA for any wages earned for that game. |

You only have to pay taxes in the state that you live in, it does not matter if you are getting paid by a company based in China. |

You must file a non-resident tax return in New York, and pay taxes on all the income derived from New York.
You must also file a resident tax return in New Jersey, and pay taxes on all the income you earned while you lived in the state of New Jersey. You will get a credit for the taxes you paid to New York on the NJ taxes. |

If you pay taxes for New York, file state taxes there. If you pay both, file in both state's. |
