Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you, I will try and contact my payroll department to get a bit more clarity into these numbers. At a high level, are companies just trying their best to withhold the correct state taxes amount and report those figures when multiple states are involved? When I used to just work in 1 state/didn't move, my box 1 would equal box 16. But now that there are 2 states involved, I am trying to understand if the employer attempts to withhold the right state taxes accordingly, and then when I file my taxes, I do 1 of the three methods to split the true accurate number, Box 1.
