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?

Alright, follow up question. How do I determine my state of residence? Is it whereever I feel like? Where I live most of the year? Or is it NJ because that's where my parents live and they claim me as a dependent. Or (and I have a sneaky suspicion it's gonna be this one) does it depend on the laws of each state?
