I worked in Philly from January to March. I then had to work from home in NJ for the rest of the year. Do I apply a tax credit for the taxes paid to the city of Philadelphia during those 3 months? I didnt pay NJ state tax during those 3 months. Is that normal? Also what is Double-taxed income?

If you were a resident of New Jersey while you were working in Philadelphia, that income is taxable by both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In order to prevent double taxation, you will receive a credit on your New Jersey resident tax return for the tax you paid to Pennsylvania. You will need to file a full year resident tax return for New Jersey and non-resident return for Pennsylvania. Prepare the Pennsylvania non-resident first in TurboTax. If you paid, Philadelphia city tax, there is no credit or offset for that.

That doesnt make any sense. Why would both NJ and PA double tax me for wages earned in PA? On my W2 I only have NJ listed as my state. Also how can I file a resident tax return for PA and a Non resident return for PA?
