@AmyC - Can you please confirm that's the case. My understanding from my payroll is as follows, which contradicts that guidance:
Due to a unique rule in NY state for reporting wages, compensation sourced to NY state may appear to be overstated on the Form W-2. The state of NY requires the amount reported in Box 16 to match Box 1. For ease of reference, below are excerpts from pages 55-56 of NY state guidance on reporting wages and this unique rule. For additional details, please go to NY state guidance on this point at https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/withholding/nys50_1223.pdf. This guidance provides information on how to allocate the amounts that are reported to NY state.
