I work for company X in MN for first half of the year, took a position in NJ rest of the year at company Y, it’s a separate legal entity of parent company X (separate w2) commuting from MN.
1) when filling NJ state taxes, 2nd W2 for company Y, wage allocations appear broken out in boxes 15-17; when completing state tax for NJ do I only put state earned wages (box 16) as my gross income due to it’s already pre-allocated or do I put full box 1 wages (from 2nd W2, or both?) and indicate only what was earned in NJ (in box 16) was then allocated to NJ?
2) when doing MN state taxes, same question applies above but inverse. Also, do I add 1st W2 (company A) to either of the scenarios in response to above allocation? Assume this is automatically generated from federal?
3) I am provided a gross-up lump sum monthly to cover travel from MN to NJ and it’s reported on 2nd W2 allocated to MN (paid by 3rd party and provided gross up year end report); do I need to do anything with this as these wages and taxes are already captured on my W2 (ie any other special form or module I need to complete)?
I have desktop version.
thanks for any guidance!
