    Tennessee has NO income tax, so you would report the NY income to NJ (because that is where you are living) and NY (because that is where you are working).

    You can claim a credit for the NY taxes paid on your New Jersey tax return, which will completely offset any NJ taxes owed (because NY state income tax rates are a LOT higher than NJ tax rates).
