I am a self employed contractor residing in PA with most of my work in NJ, in which state do I report my income?

Probable both, but would need to know all particulars to say for sure. You don't provide any details

[vitopulito · Accepted solution]

the business is an electrical contractor that has generated 90% of his income in NJ and the 10% balance from work done in PA.

Again he is a PA resident all year. NJ & PA are reciprocal  states does all the income get taxed in PA where he resides?

Not sure what more details do you need??

Thank you

Reciprocal states only matter for w2 employees where the NR state withholds resident state taxes. for a contractor that is self employed he will have to pay 100% of worldwide income to resident state, and will also pay taxes on amounts earned in any NR states he worked in. He should be able to claim a credit in his resident state for any taxes paid to NR states. This is the general rule, as each state has different rules, but in general a independent contractor working in a NR state should make estimated taxes to his home state, and any NR states he works in.
