The general rule is that you income is taxable in BOTH the state where you work and the state where you live. Some states have reciprocal agreements, but NY and NJ do not.

But NY has its dreaded telecommuter tax.

If your employer requires you to work in NJ, the income you earned in NJ would not be taxable in NY (unless you live in NY). If your employer gave you the option of where to work, for example if they let you telecommute from your home in NJ, NY still considers the income to be taxable by NY. NJ would consider any income earned while working in NJ to be taxable in NJ and all income earned by a NJ resident, no matter where, to be taxable in NJ.

Yes, it is possible for the same income to be taxable in two different states.

If you live in NY or NJ, the state where you live will give you some credit for the taxes paid to another state to offset some of the double taxation. But if you live in a third state, you could be really screwed if you have income taxable by both NY and NJ, since your state would not let the credit they give you exceed the amount charged by that state.

What is taxable income?

Taxable income is the portion of income that is the subject of taxation according to the laws that determine what is income and the taxation rate for that income. Generally, taxable income refers to an individual's (or corporation's) gross income, adjusted for various deductions allowable by statute. The main questions put by most individuals in any jurisdiction are "what makes up my taxable income" and what tax rates should be applied such that I can work out my tax liability to the state. For example, suppose within a year, one person earned $100,000 from work, made $50,000 profit from selling stock, and won the lottery for $1,000,000. This person has, prima facie, an income of $1,150,000. However, some of this income may be taxed at a lower rate or perhaps not taxable at all. In most western countries, 100% of regular salary (above a certain threshold) is taxable and a portion of Capital Gain (ie profit from selling stock or real estate) is taxable.

If you work in multiple states and pay taxes in multiple states should the sum of your individual state taxable incomes agree with the amount of your federal taxable income?

AnswerI believe so.AnswerNo - even if you work in only one state your State taxable (or gross) income will virtually never equal your Federal taxable (or gross)income. For many reasons. Like State tax is deductible from Federal, but not from itself! Some contributions or types of income too, (like retirement plans, some types of SUI, FICA, etc.), are deductible for one of the taxes, not the other. Etc.In the multi state sceanario you mention - also consider - if you had income in 3 States...one of which doesn't even have an income tax. Hence, no State Taxable income. The remaining two incomes better not equal your Federal.

Student Tip: Understand Work-Study Arrangements?

When filing taxes, students should be aware that income derived from a work-study arrangement may still be taxable. A lot of students make the mistaken assumption that this income is not taxable since it is often used to pay for tuition expenses. If a student has a question on how this income is taxed, then he or she should consult with the director of a work-study program. These directors are knowledgeable about the ways in which this income is taxed. A director can be your best source of information for filing taxes that involve work-study income. You should also find this information out before taking a work-study job.
