Get your taxes done using TurboTax

both NY and CA state wage are the same which equals to my W-1 box "1" (I actually was not reside, nor work in NY the whole year). So state wages have been doubled. When I file NY NR return, if I allocate NY state wage to "$0" and I get full NY state tax refund. Do I also need to file Schedule S in CA return in this case? 

 

Or just make it simple, change W-2 box "16" NY wages to "$0" and add box "17" NY state income tax paid to CA state income tax paid? 

 

Will both above methods yield the same result? Thank you!
