I am a resident of New Jersey and work in New York City.
I have some realized capital gain from stock trading.
Where should I file state estimate tax? To NYC or NJ ?

I also have some income from NJ in the first 3 months in 2005.
Can I file my estimate tax to NJ to avoid higher rate in NY this year?

Thanks

Charx:

I really cannot answer your question without getting actual figures.

I need to know:

- How much is the accumulated capital gains from the stock trading?
- How much was the NJ income? How much NJ income taxes were withheld?
- How much was the NY income? How much NY income taxes were withheld?

Further, I need to know marital status, whether you own a house (paying mortgage and real estate taxes), and number of children.
