About Is living in NJ and working in Philadelphia better than Living in Philadelphia and working in Philadelphia

Is living in NJ and working in Philadelphia better than Living in Philadelphia and working in Philadelphia?
I just started a job in Philadelphia and I currently have my official address in NJ. I know Philadelphia has its own tax, so what will cost me less, living in NJ while working in Philadelphia or living in Philadelphia and working there? I know that if I live in NJ I have to pay Philly, PA, and NJ taxes as opposed to just Philly and PA taxes if I live in Philly. Depending on the percentages of each tax, what will cost me less? I am in the 60K to 70K bracket. Any help would be much appreciated.

if you work in Philly - you will have to pay the Non-residence tax. You won't get any state tax withheld, but you get credit towards the NJ state tax for the Philly tax you pay- it's called a reciprocal tax agreement. If you live in Philly and work in Philly, you will pay the Philly residence tax (which is about 4/10% higher than the non resident tax) AND you pay PA state income tax - 3.07%. - go to paycheckcity.com to calculate paychecks

If you live in NJ and work in Philly, you don't pay PA income tax. PA and NJ have an agreement where if you work in one state and live in the other, you only have to pay the one where you live. So you'd pay Philly non-resident and NJ. If you both live and work in Philly, you pay PA and Philly resident. If you live in PA, outside of Philly, and work in Philly you pay PA and Philly non-resident. The least expensive for taxes especially at your incove level is usually live in a PA suburb, if you're going to work in Philly.

When you get an email from an IRS employment office from another state does it mean you have to work there?
I applied for the IRS through usajobs.gov and I received an email from the IRS saying that I qualify. The email was from the Philadelphia IRS employment office. Does that mean they want me to work in Philadelphia? I live in Southern California, but I will consider the job. Thanks.

Your presumption is correct. It means they want you to work in Philadelphia.

Volunteer work in philadelphia?
So for my senior year, i need to do 10 service projects for a final grade. Has anyone any ideas for what i could do? and where i could do it (philadelphia only). If you've had any experiences could you share them and maybe i could try it myself. If your not from philly could i still get some suggestions you've had to do, and made up yourself like the alex's lemonade, or something like that. BTW it HAS to be free work hense the volunteering part, and it can come out of my money or my moms (hehe) but it would be nice if i got ideas that i didn't have to pay for much. thanks!!! :D

You could cook at the Ronald McDonald House. They need meals every night for people who are staying there.

I'm not sure what you mean by 10 service projects. Are you able to do volunteer work in a social agency or a hospital. And museums, libraries, zoos, animal shelters are all looking for volunteers. Or does it have to be something you do on your own. I can think of a good one. I'm a senior citizen, and I could always use someone to change light bulbs, go on errands, etc. There must be seniors in your neighborhood that would love your help. If you belong to a church or place of worship, you can ask them if they have congregants who could use help. There are people who are house bound who would appreciate a friendly visitor. And there are people in nursing homes who don't have a family member who visits. I hope you can find some ideas here. Good luck.

Do You Have Housing And Work Available In Philadelphia?
Hello, my name is Patricia Watts . I am writing this letter because my family and I need a temporary 4+ bedroom house for less than $500.00 a month. My daughters and I will also provide work (cooking, housekeeping and secretarial services only). We need to move as soon as possible. We are being evicted from our home. We can not afford to pay more because we are a low-income family. Please contact me at my email address: thewatts19121@yahoo.com, or at my daughter's email address: mwatts61680@netzero.com.
