Enter your W-2 exactly as it appears on the form. You may be able to import or snap a picture instead of typing the info yourself.
Your employer’s address on the W-2 doesn’t matter. What matters is where you live and what state tax code was in Box 15 and what state tax was withheld in Box 17.
Lived and worked in Texas
If you live in Texas and Box 15 says TX or Boxes 15-20 are blank, then you are a Texas employee.
If you live in Texas and had New York wages and tax withheld in Boxes 15-20 you may have to pay NY tax as a non-resident if you were originally based — and physically worked — in New York due to the convenience of the employer rule.
Generally, however, a Texas resident working entirely remotely would not owe NY tax. You can file a nonresident return, report $0 NY wages and claim a refund. Discuss your situation with your employer before doing so.
Read the discussion by former NY state auditor @kristinelbly in I work for a NY company, remotely from NC. I spent 1 day in 2017 on site, but my W-2 has full salary...
Lived and worked in New York
If you live in New York, you should have NY in Box 15 and NY wages and withholding in boxes 16 and 17. If there is no withholding, you still have to pay NY tax if you are a NY resident.
