Do I have to file in two states?

Question

I live and work in NYC. For my job, I worked at a client in New Jersey for 145 hours in 2006 and the rest of my time was in NY. How do I file for this? Do I have to file a Federal, NY State, and NJ state return? And I'm filing for the first time in NYC, so is there a separate return for there also, since I'm paying city tax?

Also, do I have to claim Expense Reimbursements?

Thanks

I *think* that if they company you were working for was based in NYC, even though you were physically in NJ, you probably only need to file in NY.

I can't guarantee it, though!
