A 1255 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State Treasurer to issue report concerning New York's taxation of New Jersey residents' income.

This bill (A1255) requires New Jersey's State Treasurer to issue a report to the Legislature within six months of enactment, examining New York's taxation of New Jersey residents who work for New York-based employers but live in New Jersey. The report must detail New Jersey's efforts to address this tax issue, estimate tax credits granted to residents for New York taxes paid (2011-2020), analyze potential solutions to prevent New York from collecting taxes on remote workers, and assess legal barriers. It also mandates an analysis of how other states handle similar cross-state commuting tax situations and recommendations for resolving the inequity. The bill does not change tax law but directs a study to explore protecting New Jersey residents' tax liability and state revenue.
