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

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

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

Go to the mall at the Newport Pavonia stop (via the path train). They have a huge food court on the top floor with reasonably priced foods.

You can go to Newport Mall - it's huge and really nice. There is a path train that goes there its the Newport Pavonia station. Or you can take the path to 33rd street and go the the Manhattan mall. Its not that far from jersey city.

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
