Tax help for Hoboken professionals and young families

Hoboken is a short PATH ride from Manhattan, and many of its residents moved here from the city. Ryan's Hoboken clients are often young professionals and new families earning bonuses or RSUs, buying a first condo and adding childcare costs.

Ryan works with clients across Hoboken, from the waterfront and Uptown to Midtown and the southwest side, and in nearby Weehawken and Union City.

Common situations in Hoboken

The year you move from Manhattan

You file part-year resident returns in both New York and New Jersey, and your income has to be split between the two periods.

RSUs that vested while you lived in New York

New York generally taxes the part of each vest tied to days you worked in New York during the vesting period, even after you move.

Hybrid schedules

Days you work from home for a New York employer can still be taxed by New York, so tracking your work days matters.

A first condo and a growing family

Buying a home, having a child and paying for childcare all change your deductions and credits, so your withholding should change too.

Taxes for Hoboken residents

If you live in New Jersey and work for a New York employer, you generally file a New York nonresident return (Form IT-203) and pay New York tax on that income, then file your New Jersey resident return (Form NJ-1040) and claim a credit for the tax paid to New York on Schedule NJ-COJ. New York City resident income tax does not apply to you.

In the year you move from Manhattan to Hoboken, you generally file part-year resident returns in both states. New York City tax applies only to the part of the year you lived in the city.

Tax rules and rates change. Confirm the current rules with the tax department before you file, or ask Ryan on your first call.

Hoboken tax questions

I moved from Manhattan to Hoboken this year. What do I file?

Usually a New York part-year resident return, a New Jersey part-year resident return and your federal return. Ryan splits your income between the two periods so nothing is taxed by the wrong state.

How are my RSUs taxed now that I live in New Jersey?

New York generally taxes the part of each vest tied to days you worked in New York during the vesting period. New Jersey taxes the vest as a resident and gives you a credit for the New York tax. Ryan tracks your vesting periods and work days so both returns match.

Do you work with clients in Hoboken?

Yes. Hoboken is across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Ryan works with clients there virtually by phone, video and secure document upload.

Do I need to meet in person?

No. Ryan's firm is fully virtual. You upload documents securely and meet with Ryan by phone or video. If you live in the New York metropolitan area and would like to meet in person once before becoming a client, Ryan is happy to meet for coffee or lunch.

How much do your services cost?

Each service is a fixed fee based on the work involved. Ryan goes over pricing on your first call, after he understands your situation.

Are you an attorney?

No. Ryan is a CPA and a law school graduate (JD). He is not a practicing attorney and does not give legal advice. For trust and estate matters, he works alongside your attorney.
