I live in NY but work in NJ, should I have both states' taxes taken out of my paycheck?


I live in NY but work in NJ, should I have both states' taxes taken out of my paycheck?

You pay taxes to the state you physically work in. I am in kind of the same situation. My company is based 4 states away and I work from home.
Yes, you should.
No. They can only take out for the state you WORK in. That is federal law.

You can opt to have additional taxes taken out, but it will still be under the state you are employed in, so see what their tax structure is before deciding.
No, you should not, both NY & NJ are robber barons / bandits
and will suck every dollar they can get out of the people...
NJ is the highest taxed state in the USA..
Why would you do that? Doesn't this country "EXTORT" enough money from us? I believe you only have to deduct the taxes out of your income where you earn that income. (Not where you live)
For example:
I know of people that live close to the California / Nevada border living on the California side and working in Nevada. They only claim the taxes for the income earned in Nevada. Besides Nevada doesn't have State taxes where California does! Hope I've been of some assistance? Good luck!!
Life's Experiences
If the company has nexus in both states (in other words has a location in NY) then they can take the taxes for both states. They take the taxes for the state you work in first (NJ) and since NY's rate is higher, they will take the difference to pay NY. If they do not have nexus, then the company wilo only take the NJ taxes and you will be responsible to pay NY the difference.
