I was paid, but the company reported it to the IRS using a 1099-misc as "non-employee compensation (I thought is was a bit dodgy legal-wise but their accountant OKed it). While working in DC I resided in Virginia. I continued to work for the same company editing their blog once I went back to school in PA, and they continued to pay me. All of this income was reported on a sigle 1099 form
Finally, my parents live in New Jersey, though I have not lived there for more then a week at a time for two years. Still, they claim me as a dependant on tax forms.
So my question is, where do I file state income taxes (PA, VA, NJ, DC, all?), and for what income in what state?

PA for W-2. Non-resident form (depends, see below).
IF DC has a tax, I'd put the entire 1099 amount for there if you feel like being legal. If not, just claim it in your home state.
If your state of residence is still NJ, I'd file a NJ return with no taxable income (except interest and dividends) allocated there. Possibly the 1099 income, if you don't want to file a DC return.
Keep in mind, I work in OR, not that familiar with east coast taxes. This is a SWAG. If it was me, I'd file PA for the W-2 and stuff the rest into my resident state because who wants to hassle mith mutli-state returns?
