I live in NJ and have been working as a consultant for a NY company (from home) since October. They've just offered me a full-time position "based" in NY - however, I will continue to work from home at least three days a week. Will I be taxed by both states - in effect, double taxed? I haven't worked in NY since 2001, so perhaps the rules have changed, but NY used to tax my husband's salary as well, although he never worked in NY. Perhaps that was part of the old commuter tax? Thanks for your help!

I don't have an answer to your question but I face the same situation . I work in NJ and live in NY . Isn't it nice to know our respective states think it such a privilege to live here that we should pay extra taxes for it ?

Guys:

In neither case will you be double-taxed. Both states give you a tax credit for the taxs paid to the "working" state to avoid double taxation of the same dollar.

In the case where you work in NY and live in NJ, the credit usually completely offsets the NJ tax (because nY tax rates are higher).

If either of you want professional help, please PM me.

Yup I get to pay NY rates while working in NJ
