Does moving to nj from ny changes taxes and health benefits? (New York: health insurance, credit)

[lexus2873]

I work for city of new york and have just moved to nj from ny. I wonder how this is going to change my taxes and health benefits. Can anyone give me insights? I haven't update my new address yet bc I'm not sure how it would affect those two things. If anyone can help clarify this I would appreciate it.

You legally need to change your address, regardless of its impact on your taxes.

[LEFT]When you file a tax return, in addition to filing your federal return, you'll have to file a NY State Non-resident return (IT-203) and file a NJ resident return. On your NJ resident return, you'll get a credit for the tax that you paid to NY.

Since you work for the city specifically, I think you still have to pay the NYC tax as well:

I don't know about the health insurance. But one needs to pay taxes according to where one lives as far I understand.

I will tell you one thing. You'd better make specifically sure that the places you go to for health care are covered by your insurance. When you change locations, in my opinion, that is one of the most important considerations. Do you know which doctors and hospitals are in your plan and which are not?

You'll need to let you health insurance company know your new address. Healthcare providers that are in your plan could very well be mandated by the zipcode you now live in.

Possible of changing the tax rate from ny to nj. Since you work for City of New York, you might want to check if your residency might take affect your job or not. I hope not, but as far as I know, most jobs with city are required to have NYC residency, or maybe yonker or Suffolk county, I am not too sure about it. I would strongly suggest you to check on that.
