Hi,
Here is some of my status.
I was on F1 from 2007/04 to 2008/12.
Starting from 2009/03, I moved to NJ and started working in NY as OPT.
2009/10 my visa status changed to H1b.
I rented an apartment with someone else since 2009/05, both of us signed the lease.
My company withholds my NY state tax and Federal tax since I started.
Reading through the tax law (pub. 519) and various Q&As on the site, I think I need to file 1040NR for federal. And also, I think I need to file IT-203 for New York State.
But the question is, do I need to file NJ-1040 or NJ-1040NR for New Jersey? As far as my understanding, the domicile requirement refers to a permanent home, which in my case is in my home country. I don't own a house/apartment in New Jersey.
Any help/suggestion is appreciated!
