What is the NY convenience rule?

If your employer's office is in New York, days you work from home in another state may be treated as NY workdays for tax purposes - unless you can establish a bona fide employer office outside NY. This means NJ residents working remotely for NY employers may owe NY tax on those WFH days.

Do NJ and PA have a reciprocal agreement?

Yes, but only for wages. NJ and PA residents who earn wages in the other state only pay tax to their home state. This does not apply to non-wage income like business income, rentals, or investment income.

How does the credit for taxes paid to other states work?

If you are a NJ resident and pay tax to another state on income earned there, NJ allows a credit on Schedule NJ-COJ. The credit equals the lesser of the actual tax paid to the other state or the proportional NJ tax on that income. This prevents double taxation.
