I work in New Jersey, but live in New York City. Do I have to file state taxes for both states? I tried and I seem to have to pay on each state the same amount as if I lived and worked there. I can ask for a credit that discounts the amount of state taxes I paid to NJ and subtracts it to my taxable income in NY, but this still seems very unfair to me. Is there some way around this? Thank you.
