You would file a Part Year New York and a Part Year Alabama return. Your New York income is the amount you earned in New York, so most likely the Box 18 amount.
If you were a resident of New York State for only part of the tax year, you must pay New York State tax on all income you received while you were a resident of the state and on income you received from New York State sources while you were a nonresident.
Income is sourced to where it was earned, not necessarily the location of the company. New York has a W2 requirement that employers must report in Box 16 the same amount as Box 1, but it is not necessarily the state wages. New York also has a Convenience of the employer rule, if this applies, you would pay New York tax on the income, but you would then claim the credit for the taxes paid to another state on the Alabama return for the income you earned in June to August.
You would be able to file a Part Year Alabama return with residency dates of January to August. You would report the income for Alabama that you earned January to August.
