NJ/PA
Taxpayer moved from PA to NJ in June 2025
Taxpayer did not file REV-419
Taxpayer’s W-2 reflects all PA wages (Boxes 16–19).
Spouse’s W-2 reflects both PA and NJ wages.
Taxpayer Box 16 wages: $162,000 Taxpayer local wages (Box 18): $162,000 Taxpayer local tax (Box 19): $1,700
Spouse local wages (Box 18): $110,000 Spouse local tax (Box 19): $1,200
For the PA gross compensation worksheet, should I allocate the taxpayer’s Box 16 wages 50/50 ($81,000 for PA and $81,000 for NJ)?
For NJ credit purposes (NJCOJ)
Should the taxpayer’s local wages ($162,000) and local tax ($1,700) be split 50/50 since REV-419 was not filed?
For the spouse, since REV-419 was filed, should their local wages/taxes remain fully allocated to PA (i.e., no split and no NJ credit)?
For dividends and capital gains during the year of the move
Is a 50/50 allocation acceptable for part-year residency?
Or is it necessary to allocate based on actual transaction dates (pre- vs. post-move) because that seems like it would talk hours based on the number of sales and dividends
Thank you for your help
