TurboTax NYS Income Allocation Issue – Incorrect Tax Calculation
My husband and I are filing our taxes as Married Filing Jointly, and we are both Massachusetts residents. I am self-employed and performed all my work in MA. My husband worked as a W-2 employee in both MA and NYS, spending about 2-3 weeks in NYS in total.
When completing the New York State tax return, we selected the option "Only my husband worked in NYS" and clearly indicated that I did not work there. When prompted to allocate the percent of my income to NY, I allocated 0%. However, TurboTax is still calculating NYS taxes using my MA income, which is also triggering a penalty calculation.
How can we correct this so that my income is not included in the NYS tax calculation?
