## Core specialty: multistate returns
New Jersey and New York have no reciprocal agreement. A New Jersey resident earning income in New York generally files a New York nonresident return and a New Jersey resident return with a credit for tax paid to New York; the income allocation and that credit determine whether the same income is taxed twice. The firm prepares this and every other combination of state filings, including for remote and hybrid workers, partners and shareholders with out-of-state K-1s, owners of out-of-state rental property, part-year residents after a move, and businesses filing in several states.

## Who it is a good fit for
NJ/NY commuters and remote workers, small and mid-sized businesses and their owners, families with an unusual year (move, home sale, inheritance, first year self-employed), investors and landlords with out-of-state income, retirees with pension and part-year residency questions, and people correcting a prior return or responding to a state notice.

## Areas served
Fort Lee, Edgewater, Cliffside Park, Palisades Park, Leonia, Englewood, Englewood Cliffs, Tenafly, Teaneck, Ridgefield, Ridgefield Park, Bergenfield, Hackensack, Paramus, Closter, Cresskill, Alpine, and Bergen County generally; North Bergen, Weehawken, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Hudson County; all of New Jersey; New York City and New York State; and clients anywhere in the United States with multistate filing obligations.
