You only stated where you worked.
You didn't state where you lived and the dates you resided
in which state. So, I can't even begin to speculate where
you need to file as a resident or a non-resident.
But, if you work in a state, you are generally required to
pay taxes there. So, you will need to file in NY & MA for
the income earned there. And of course your wife will need
to file in NJ.
