My husband worked remotely 2023 we live in NJ. The company has a CT address, but his reporting office was in PA. On his W2 it only mentions NJ. Would he file nonresident?

PA and NJ have reciprocity, but nowhere on his W2 does it mention anything about PA. Does he file nonresident?
Best answer by TomD8
W-2 compensation paid to NJ residents employed in PA is not subject to PA income tax. Therefore he does not file a PA tax return. Additionally, unless he physically worked within CT during the tax year, he has no tax obligation to CT. Bottom line: unless he physically worked in CT, he files taxes only in his home state of NJ. All his income is taxable by NJ.

Hi, similar situation here - working remotely in NJ for a PA-based company but W-2 only states NJ in Box 15. Given the reciprocity, I would only need to file NJ state tax, correct? Tysm!

Correct.  W-2 income paid to a resident of NJ by a PA employer is not subject to  PA state income tax.
