Yes, you will have to file a NJ return and pay taxes to NJ. However, you will get a credit for any taxes paid to NY. SInce NY taxes are higher than NJ, you will probably not owe anything (except if you have other NJ income such as dividends, interest, etc.)

Just make sure to take quarters for the bridge...ugh. Geez, that alone will cost you enough every week...

Yes, but another poster has it backwards. You'll receive a credit on your NY return for the NJ taxes paid, up to what the NY taxes would have been. File a non-resident NJ return listing only the NJ income and pay any tax due. Then file your regular resident NY return listing all income from all sources. You'll take a credit for the NJ taxes paid on your NY return. Effectively you'll pay the higher of the two states taxes for the NJ income.

Where should I buy a house in New Jersey? I work in New York

Where should I buy a house in New Jersey? I work in New York.?
I want to live within a commuting distance from New York. The place should be family friendly and within $300,000. I want to avoid the crowded places of Central and Southern New Jersey like South/East Brunswick, Edison etc.

Check out towns in Passaic County. I lived in Montclair, which is out of your price range, but there are many in the Montclair area that are moving to Little Falls and other Passaic/Essex County border towns cause the taxes are cheaper in Passaic. Cute towns, real close to major highways, within reach of trains and maybe a 40 minute train ride to NYC... tops.

It's possible but if you are a jerk it won't. A PBA card is just a courtesy not a get out of jail free card.
2 :
I doubt it. Besides, the officer will just take it away if you caused a moving violation. For parking, you may slide unless you were in a handicap spot. Why don't you ask in "Home > Politics & Government > Law Enforcement & Police" since this is travel. http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AtRF0nVDKN_MeTWAAKeKZOrQ7BR.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396546501

It depends on a few things: 1) what you might be stopped for, 2) whether or not the Officer stopping you is inclined to extend inter-agency courtesy, and 3) your demeanor at the time of the stop. However, PBA cards are not "community property", if the card was given to your father, he can't give it to you, it doesn't work like that. The odds are, that you probably will get a ticket and might even have the card confiscated or just completely ignored.

Better find another place to live fast. The eviction will go through. 4 months is a long time not to pay rent. The fact that you have children doesn't mean anything.
