Answer 1 :
Central Jersey is good. Although there are a lot of people, it is really nice and it's the suburbs and you can take the Jersey Transit to get to NY or a bus. A lot of people in Central Jersey (Princeton, Hamilton, etc) work in New York.
Answer 2 :
Look at Hoboken. It's a nice area with great shopping. The "Path" train will take you to Manhattan for $1.75 and it stops at 23rd and 33rd Streets
Answer 3 :
would need to know how old you are and what your interests are and if you have a family. If you live in NJ, then you have to pay both NY/NJ taxes. It also depends on how long you want to commute. I live in Middletown, which is > 1hr in...but it's alot nicer than the North Jersey areas around NYC.
Answer 4 :
You have to be careful with Jersey City...parts can be very rough. I live in Port Imperial and LOVE it! We are directly on the water. The ferry terminal is next door and it is a 6 minute ride into mid-town. There is a pool, gym, grocery store, starbucks, ben & jerrys all within the port imperial complex. Here is an article on the area when it was being built: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/28/realestate/28living.html There are 5 or 6 complexes now on the water... Here are a few sites of buildings in Port Imperial: www.riverbendpi.com www.55riverwalkplace.com www.equityapartments.com
Answer 5 :
Hoboken, West NY, Weehawken, Cliffside Park, Fort Lee. You can get to the PATH in Hoboken, but don't overlook some of these other listed communities that have low cost bus transportation to NYC. The person who reccomended Central Jersey (sorry, I consider Princeton, South Jersey).. at any rate that is too far.. working on 28th Street near all the cool things to do you'd hate trying to get home every night.. Good Luck.. Live closer, you'll be much happier

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

Go to the guidance counselor in your school.
Answer 2 :
According to one poster (from 2 years ago) you need to "go to your child's school or the school board in the district where they will be working." so I agree with the poster above me as well. Here is a 16 page PDF guide that is also from the source below. http://www.nj.gov/labor/lsse/forms/mw-373.pdf (PDF)

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
