Hi there -
I have a 1099nec and a W-2 from acting work in Colorado and Tennessee this past year, but I am a resident of New York.
I just have a lot of questions as to how to file them.
The values in boxes 1 and 7 for the 1099nec are the same, $2321. I'm assuming I need to file a non-resident state tax return for this. I have already gone through my expenses and narrowed it down to what I had to buy (some of it was meals for the cast of the show I was in, will come in later). When it asks me to submit my wages made by the state, do I submit the $2321? Or since it's non-employee compensation, should I enter 0?
Secondly with this, it is asking me about a Business Meals Deduction and automatically gives me the number $73. Is this accurate? Do I have to worry about it?
And then for the W-2, since it is from Tennessee, do I need to worry about filing a non-resident tax return since it does not give me the option to even select TN?
Thanks in advance.

CO Filing Requirements shows you do need to file a CO return. Since it is self-employment income, when you go through the CO, you will enter it to match the federal.
Meals $73 is up to you to follow what you entered and verify that is the correct, allowed deduction.
TN does not have a state tax, nothing to file.
Still have questions?
