Answer 1 :
Q: If I live in Jersey, can I work in New York City? A: Yes! If you live in Jersey, you can work in New York City. Q: Can I take advantage of the Work Force One programs? A: Yes! As long as you are 18 and older, you can take advantage. http://www.nyc.gov/html/sbs/wf1/html/faq/faq.shtml#who New Jersey does have their own WFO program so at least try that first. http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/wnjpin/wnjpin_index.html
Answer 2 :
Yeah you definitley can work in NYC if you live in New Jersey! All you would have to do to make it easier for you to work in the city is to take a train because it saves less gas and money for you and is a better way of transportation in the city, anyway.
Answer 3 :
Yes, thousands of people live in NJ and commute to jobs in NYC, but, it's a state-tax nightmare, and you might get double-taxed on your earnings, from both states, PLUS, don't forget that New York City charges a CITY tax, too!! So, take all that into account when you're considering your salary requirements, because they might take a LOT out in taxes when you do that. Good luck!... ☺
Answer 4 :
I do it everyday! I am a NYC native that moved to Northern NJ and now I commute from there to my job in Manhattan. As long as you can get to public transportation (NJ Transit train or bus or the Path train), you should be fine. To add to what Duncan said above, you don't always get double-taxed. It depends on the company that you work for.
Answer 5 :
I live in NJ, worked in NYC as a Judicial state worker, had to pay NY city and state taxes, as well as NJ state taxes. If you decide to live in NJ, also factor in commuting costs relative to where you work in NYC, i.e. I commuted by NJ Transit train to Hoboken, then took PATH to the WTC, then walked to work

Answer 1 :
Well you could try survey sites. They've worked for me. I review some survey sites to make money that have worked for me at http://cashtutor.blogspot.com What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $1000 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job's salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on these web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, PSPs, digital cameras, gift certificates, and much more. Cheques are sent monthly, and usually arrive about a week or a week and a half into the next month. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER. Unlike other sites that try to scam people out of their money, these sites never requires you to pay them. "If the site doesn't get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?" - The sites don't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time. Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company. Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I've listed only positives about this site, because I can't think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you...Easy as that! I give you my word that they pay. email me at lancesurveys@hotmail.com if you have any questions p.s half the answers you were givens are scams awsurveys, snapdollars, etc. don't worry i deleted most of them
Answer 2 :
i know it can be hard for a kid your age to find work. i found this free website, it's great. i make a lot of extra cash just filling out easy free surveys. anyone any age anywhere can do it, and it doesn't cost you a dime. check out http://tinyurl.com/6py28o for some more information

About Work in New York City, live in New Jersey. Don't own a home. Which state do I file taxes for

Work in New York City, live in New Jersey. Don't own a home. Which state do I file taxes for?
I live in New Jersey, I'm Single and live with my parents so I don't pay rent. However I work and receive all of my income from New York. I've also changed jobs towards the end of last year but both jobs were located in New York City. Should I file for New York or New Jersey?
United States - 6 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Lucky you-you'll probably need to file both. You'll need to file the NY return as a non-resident (I believe there's a NYC income tax return as well). Then, when you file NJ, there should be a form to attach that will show NJ how much income tax you've already paid to NY. It will be kind of a pain, unless you're really good with tax stuff. If you're not, a Jersey preparer will be able to help you without too much difficulty. Of, if you're a hands on kind of guy, buy Turbo Tax, get your NJ state download for free, then pay for the NY download (I think it's about $30). TurboTax can handle a multi-state return reasonably well.
Answer 2 :
new jersey
Answer 3 :
I believe there is also a NYC tax, so you will have to file that also.
Answer 4 :
You must file in both New York and New Jersey. You are a resident of New Jersey and need to file a non-resident return for NY State (IT-203). You pay taxes on the income you earned in NY and get a credit for that amount when you file in NJ. On your NJ return, you would be responsible for the taxes on things like taxable interest and investments, which would not be taxable in NY.
Answer 5 :
You need to file both.
Answer 6 :
New York City taxes are included as part of the NY state return, so you don't need to file a separate NYC return. You will need to file a NY return as a nonresident, and a New Jersey return as your primary state income tax. You should probably do the NY State return first, as the amount you have to pay to New York (state and city) may be deductible from from your New Jersey return

Answer 1 :
It's just not practical unless you're both incredibly patient and unbelievably rich. Those two towns are 120 miles apart so at best both of you will have a 60 mile commute through some brutal traffic. The towns that are halfway between, like Westport and Darien, are in southwest Connecticut and are very expensive. Your communting expenses will be substantial

About I live in New Jersey but work in New York City. What state income taxes should appear on my pay stub

I live in New Jersey but work in New York City. What state income taxes should appear on my pay stub?

United States - 6 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
New Jersey. Thats the state you have residence in.
Answer 2 :
New York. You file a non-resident NY state tax return, and you fiel a NJ state return and they credit you for taxes paid to NY.
Answer 3 :
Both NYC and NJ taxes should be deducted.
Answer 4 :
A company is required to deduct taxes based on where you work not where you live. A company, as a courtesy, can deduct residential state taxes if you request it and they agree to do this.
Answer 5 :
Usually your employer payroll department deduct the taxes for the state the income is earned in New York City. You do work in New York City so the NYC state income taxes would be the amount that is on your pay stub. You will have file the each 2 state income tax returns next year your resident state income tax return and the nonresident New Jersey state income tax return. You may be able to both of them online next year from each states website.
Answer 6 :
the employer is in NY, the pay stub will show NY income taxes your tax home is where you work on a long term regular basis short term, temporary assignments less than a year do not change your tax home(which is where you work normally) if this NY job does not appear to be permanent, you file NJ state return as normal and NY non resident/part time

About Live in New Jersey work in New York City. Taxes

Live in New Jersey work in New York City. Taxes?
I live in Hudson County, New Jersey, but work in Manhattan. About 5% of my paycheck is deducted for state taxes. Will I get any of this back? What will I have to pay for New Jersey state taxes? I know a lot of people commute like this so if anyone that can explain the tax situation please help!! Thanks.
United States - 1 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
You will have to report all of your income on a NJ resident return. You will report the NY sourced part of you wage on a NY Non resident return. You will compute a tax credit on your NJ return for the tax paid to NY. However, since NY has a higher tax rate on income, the credit will be limited to the amount computed by using the NJ rate. IN all likelihood, you will not owe any Nj tax on the NY part of your wages. I don't know what state taxes they are deducting but I will guess it is NY. If that is the case, you probably will breakeven on your NJ return if all of your wages earned were from the NY job. This can get complicated. You should have a tax pereparer do the work this year due to the multi state issues involved

About Let's say I live in New Jersey and work in New York City. Is city tax deducted from my paycheck

Let's say I live in New Jersey and work in New York City. Is city tax deducted from my paycheck?
When I check out the paycheck calculator, I see that there's a section called "City tax". From that section, there's a pull down that gives the following options: "None", "New York City Resident", "Yonkers" and "Yonkers Non-Resident". If I work in NYC (Midtown Manhattan) and live in NJ, which one applies to me?

Answer 1 :
yep, both
Answer 2 :
I had one answerer e-mail me. He stated that he received 1100 less in refunds because NYC tax had to be paid. It is possible that NYC was not withheld from you during the year. Save all of your stubs if you not already. The pull down menu forgot that option. If you work in Manhattan, you are going to have to pay NYC tax. Best to you. www.naea.org

About How far is Jersey City from NYC

How far is Jersey City from NYC?
I have not yet decided whether I will be living in Manhattan or Brooklyn. It looks like I will be working in Jersey City (financial district). How is the commute from Manahattan and Brooklyn to Jersey City? I should not have a car to make this commute, right?? My boyfriend, whom I live with, is going to school in Brooklyn
New York City - 6 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
why commute? why dont you live in jersey city? But the commute from Manhattan is about 10 minutes on the PATH if you're gettin off at Exchange Place, though it could be a little more, i havent gone in awhile.
Answer 2 :
Jersey City is just on the other side of the river from Manahattan so its VERY close. But if you are working in JC, why not live there? It would be a little cheaper than NYC.
Answer 3 :
jersey city is very close to nyc... if you're living in brooklyn, take subway to the world trade center.. the PATH train leaves from there and the first stop is Exchange place in jersey city... it's maybe a 5 minute ride... there are also stops at Grove street and Journal square in Jersey City which is an additional 5-10 minutes.
Answer 4 :
It's only 4 minutes' ride on the PATH from WTC station to Exchange Place station once the train gets rolling. http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/path/html/NWK_WTC_Weekday.html You DEFINITELY should not try to keep a car. And as other posters have said, you should consider living in JC or Hoboken, as there are some lovely neighborhoods with cheaper housing than Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Answer 5 :
I gotta agree with all of the answers saying that you should consider living in Jersey City (if you can afford a Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn, then you can easily swing the Newport section...many high rise apartments by the river). Plus you won't get "double taxed" for working in New Jersey and living in New York. Nevertheless...it's a 10 minute PATH train ride from World Trade Center to Exchange Place (1st stop in Jersey City) and you won't need a car to do it.
Answer 6 :
JC is actually nice, why dont you just live there. Brooklyn sucks

About Live in New Jersey Work in New York City

Live in New Jersey Work in New York City?
I want to know if there are specific tax advantages if one were to live full-year in New Jersey and work in Manhattan versus the case where one were to live full-year in New York city and work in Manhattan. If I were to live full-year in New Jersey and work in Manhattan, will I have to pay New York city taxes? I went over form IT203 (Non-resident income tax return); it appears that I will have to pay New York state tax and Yonkers nonresident earnings tax, but there is no provision for New York city tax. Could this be a potential tax advantage over the case of living full-year in New York city and work in Manhattan? It is a decent saving. Furthermore, if I were to live full-year in New Jersey and work in Manhattan, will I be withheld taxes from New Jersey state, New York state, New York city, and Yonkers? I actually don't understand Yonkers. What is it? Is it a defined boundary or region in New York city where one work? If I work in downtown Manhattan, am I part of

Answer 1 :
I can't answer all of those questions, but I can give you a little bit of information. If you live in New Jersey and pay taxes another municipality or state in which you work (such as New York state, New York City, Yonkers, Manhattan), the taxes you pay to the places you work are deductible from your New Jersey income tax. In other words, whatever you pay to New York state income tax, New York City wage tax, Yonkers non-resident earnings tax, etc, is deductible from your New Jersey income tax if you live in New Jersey while working in New York
