I recently took a different position with the same company working in NY but live in NJ and am finding it confusing allocating the number of days worked in NY. I started in September and my employer informed me to keep track of the days I worked in NY which came out to 39 (I am hybrid, typically 2-3 days in the office but it differs week by week). I am getting double taxed for NY and NJ and confused as to how this all works. I expected to get a refund back since i'm getting double taxed but maybe i was misinformed/ too hopeful.
I worked 240 days for the year, 82 days since September in NY and 39 days in the office. So would I put 158 days in outside of New York and then 43 days in worked outside of New York at home (82 days - 39 worked in office=43)? That doesn't sound right because next year if I work hybrid then I would be getting double taxed and all my work from home days would still count as days worked in NY meaning I get no tax break/credit.
