1 :
New Jersey. Thats the state you have residence in.
2 :
New York. You file a non-resident NY state tax return, and you fiel a NJ state return and they credit you for taxes paid to NY.
3 :
Both NYC and NJ taxes should be deducted.
4 :
A company is required to deduct taxes based on where you work not where you live. A company, as a courtesy, can deduct residential state taxes if you request it and they agree to do this.
5 :
Usually your employer payroll department deduct the taxes for the state the income is earned in New York City. You do work in New York City so the NYC state income taxes would be the amount that is on your pay stub. You will have file the each 2 state income tax returns next year your resident state income tax return and the nonresident New Jersey state income tax return. You may be able to both of them online next year from each states website.
6 :
the employer is in NY, the pay stub will show NY income taxes your tax home is where you work on a long term regular basis short term, temporary assignments less than a year do not change your tax home(which is where you work normally) if this NY job does not appear to be permanent, you file NJ state return as normal and NY non resident/part time

Well u could,but u would get paid that much.But i don't reccommend it.U won't always get a job.Just do it 4 fun or as a second job
2 :
I know a number of people who manage to do that. They aren't rich, but their connections with the casting agencies are very solid. They have proved themselves reliable and the agencies tend to remember that. Take a look at Ross Reports or the Henderson Guides to locate extra casting agencies such as Sylvia Fay, Grant Wilfley and Amerifilm, and send them your picture, resume and contact information.

yes. I believe New York State is one of the few states that requires the least amount of hours. I live in NY and I took cosmo
2 :
Different states have different hours that are required per state boards. You should first find out how many you need in connecticut and then also see what the requirements are for New york. Once you move however, and if your hours are right, i do believe you'd still have to get relicensed in New York. Just be sure though, that you don't need more hours, because that would mean going back to school in NY once you've already thought you were finished.
3 :
No. You need to be licensed in whatever state you live in, and depending on whether NY has more hours, You may have to go BACK to school and get those hours, and sometimes(most of the time, if the state has the same or less hours, and no reporocity) you will have to take the state board exam.

Work in New York, live in New Jersey, how should I file my taxes in NJ

Work in New York, live in New Jersey, how should I file my taxes in NJ?
My husband works in NY, and we live in NJ. My question is how do I file this for NJ? Do we get double taxed, should I expect a refund in any way? Where do I find the amount taxed? Is it based off of the entire income?

1 :
your tax home is where you work except for temporary short assignments you file NY state and non resident NJ
2 :
You file a non-resident tax return with NY. You also file a tax return with NJ, but you can probably deduct whatever you paid to NY.
3 :
NJ residents : NJ resident return Works in NY: NY Non-resident return You'll pickup up NY income on Both state returns. You will then include the NY taxes paid on NJ return as a tax credit to offset the NJ taxes! This is how you're double taxed on the NY income but then it's resolved by claiming the NY taxes as a credit on the NJ return. Note that the NY tax credit will be limited to NJ's tax rate so... 1. If NY's tax rate is 10% and NJ is 8%, then the tax credit will be limited to the NJ 8% amount. 2. If NY's tax rate is 6% and NJ is 8%, then you'll get to claim the entire NY tax as a credit against NJ's income tax. You should seek a local tax professional to assist you further!
