For tax year 2023 I purchased a home in NJ and live there part time (less than 183 days) but am still domiciled in Florida. I received a pension (not from a NJ source) as well as worked remotely for a non-NJ abased company. What is my NJ tax filing requirement?

Pension income is taxable only by your state of domicile at the time you receive it. Your remotely earned income from a non-NJ employer is taxable by NJ only if you carried it out from a physical location within NJ.

Just for clarity on my part. I would need to complete a NJ tax form (non resident? Part time resident?) for the wage income that I received for the days I worked remotely from my home in NJ?

Do I do the same for my pension payments?

Since you are domiciled in FL and spent fewer than 183 days in NJ, you would file a non-resident NJ return. On that return you would report only your NJ wage income, NOT your pension income.

FYI, a part-year resident is a person who literally moves his domicile from one state to another during the tax year. Your domicile is your main, primary home, and you can have only one domicile at a time.
