Hello and thank you in advance.
My son's assigned office is in New Jersey. He also resides in New Jersey. He works there 4 to 5 days a week.
He has a dotted line reporting into a manager who works in NY. He goes into the NY office about once a week or sometimes once every two weeks.
He received 2 W2 forms from his employer
The NJ one which again is his home office has the entire w2 filled out. His earning lets say is $70k
The NY W2 has an inflated earnings about 4k less - $66k. The only items on this W2 that are filled out are the inflated earnings on line 16 and ny state income tax in box 17. Nothing in boxes 1-14
So two questions.
1) Looking at his year end Payroll he as an item listed for NY earnings around $6,800. Since NY threshold for filing single non residence is $8,000 does he even have to fill out a NY state Return?
2) If not great. If he does or next year I'm sure he'll earn over the threshold - how do I handle this exactly?
Thanks again
