State Guide · New Hampshire Resident / New Jersey Employer
Living in New Hampshire,
Working for a New Jersey Company
Your tax situation changes significantly depending on whether you work from home or commute to New Jersey. Here's exactly what applies to you.
🏠 If You Work From Home in New Hampshire (Fully Remote)
Withholding
Your employer should NOT withhold New Jersey taxes. Since you work remotely from New Hampshire which has no income tax, you owe $0 in state income tax. Verify New Jersey taxes are not being withheld.
Filing
No state income tax returns required in either state.
🏢 If You Commute to New Jersey (In-Office)
Withholding
Your employer will typically withhold New Jersey state taxes for days you physically work there.
Filing
File a Nonresident Return with New Jersey to report income earned there. Then file a Resident Return in New Hampshire and claim a credit for taxes paid to New Jersey — so you are not double-taxed.
Because tax situations — especially surrounding remote work — can be complex, verify your specific W-2 reporting by consulting a tax professional or your employer's HR payroll system.
