From personal experience (assuming I did it right, of course):
Resident of VA
Working in NJ
Filed state taxes in NJ and VA both. VA let me claim an exemption for state income tax paid to NJ (NJ tax paid = NJ withheld - NJ refund). Still kinda hazy on the fairness of it all, but I wound up owing VA about $1,100 (my whole federal refund and then some!) because my NJ company (headquartered in CA, BTW) refused to withhold tax for my state of residence because it was too hard for HR to figure out!
I have a friend in PA - to get to his house I have to drive through Mount Bethel and Bangor.
This tends to be more amusing when you say it aloud - and you're drunk.
