Retirement Planning Advisor
Jersey City, New Jersey

The Short Answer
Jersey City residents who worked in New York City face a unique tax situation in retirement: New York State taxes income earned in New York, but New Jersey has its own income tax structure with different treatment of retirement income. Many Jersey City residents have 401(k)s, 403(b)s, or NYC pension income that crosses state lines. Doug Robb Jr. is registered in both New York and New Jersey and understands the cross-state planning considerations.

How does retirement planning help Jersey City residents?
Cross-State Tax Considerations
Jersey City residents who worked in New York City may have New York-source income in retirement — particularly from NYC pensions. New Jersey taxes this income differently than New York does. Doug is registered in both states and accounts for the cross-state tax implications in the retirement income plan.
New Jersey Retirement Tax Benefits
New Jersey does not tax Social Security benefits. It also excludes up to $75,000 of pension, annuity, and IRA income for married couples filing jointly (with income below $150,000). These exclusions make New Jersey a relatively favorable state for retirement income.
NYC Commuter Profile
Many Jersey City residents spent their careers commuting to Manhattan or other NYC boroughs and have 401(k)s, deferred compensation plans, or NYC pensions. Doug handles the rollover and income planning decisions for this profile.
Long Valley NJ Office
The Long Valley, NJ office at 24 Ridgeline Drive serves New Jersey clients directly. Jersey City is approximately 45–60 minutes from Long Valley via I-78. Phone and video consultations are also available.
