in State Filing

Hi,

I live in NJ, but work in NY. I am filing out my NJ tax return form and I am trying to understand how to determine the amount taxed by both NY and NJ for credit.

From my NY return, I have the following:

  • NY Non-resident AGI is $28,700
  • NY taxable income is $32,200 (which is higher than my W2 NY income, which is confusing but maybe right due to this)

Which number should I put in as taxed by both NY and NJ?

    Hello, Pt300,

    This is a very confusing observation for sure. The shared income is mostly based on the amount shown on the W-2 for NY and NJ. Look at the state portion of the W-2 to compare what is being claimed by both NY and NJ and use that for the Taxes Paid to Another State as the shared income taxed by both states.

    Our Support teams have lots of experience assisting customers with this portion of both of your state returns. Visit the Support center for more direct assistance options.
