If you move to PA and still work in NJ, do you have to pay state income tax for both states??
No. If you live in PA and work in NJ you pay a 3.2 percent income tax to PA, you don't pay NJ income tax. Also certain towns in PA require you to pay a wage tax (1%.) The catch is that in NJ, the state income tax is tiered, the more you make the more they can tax you. You could make 150k/yr. in NJ and be taxed at 9 percent, where as in PA the state income tax is fixed at 3.2%. In the long run as people earn more and more in their respective careers, where would you rather live?

Sam: I hope you haven't been doing this, since I'm pretty sure that's incorrect information. I'm an accountant in MA, but the law should be the same in PA/NJ too. If you live in a state that has lower income taxes than the state you work in, then you pay your state's taxes first, then you pay any leftovers to the state you work in. So in your case, you will pay 3.2% to PA and 5.8% to NJ.

That's the way it works for everyone who lives in NJ and works in NY, and I believe it's the same with PA and NJ.

I believe if you live in Pa & work in NJ you would have to pay NJ income tax but it would be credited towards your Pa taxes. To be sure ask an accountant

you are quite the silly one, eh?
in the prior thread you advocate the state spending hundreds of millions for research that the private sector should be funding and here you're complianing about how expensive NJ is.
If all the dolts would stop expecting government to fund your lives, maybe NJ wouldn't be such an expensive place to live
