I live in New Jersey but work in New York, how am I taxed?
I am married filing jointly, and when I go through my NY non-resident tax return, it taxes me on all the income my wife and I both made last year. She works in New Jersey, and I only worked in NY for half the year. Shouldn't I be taxed on just the money I made in NY? United States - 1 Answers

If you worked in NY, you have to pay NY taxes - its a privilege of working in NY. You must file a NY non-resident tax return. You must file as married filing jointly and include your wife's name and SSN but can omit her income on the NY tax return. There is another form you fill out w2here you basically verify that your wife had no NY income. You must also pay NJ taxes because you lived in NJ. On the NJ joint tax return, you will get a credit for your NJ state taxes for the taxes you paid in NY. If you only worked in NY for half the year, you only include that amount on the NY tax return.
