Most states require you to use the same filing status as on
the federal return. I don't know specifically about NY or
NJ. The usual way of handling earnings in a state in which
you don't resided is to file NJ as a non-resident and pay
taxes on NJ income, then claim a credit on your NY tax
return for taxes paid to NJ. There may be special agreements
between NY and bordering states. If you don't know what they
are, you might want to consult a tax professional in your
area.
