My Son lives with me in NY state but works in a NJ bank and he received two separate W2 for 2024. One for NY & one for NJ(non-resident W2). However, employer entered federal income info only on NY W2 but left NJ W2 blank(there was only NJ state income & tax info). So when he used Turbotax to do taxes, he was guided to mail in his tax return for federal & NJ state because, according to Ttax, if federal income info is missing from W2, then tax return needs to be mailed.
I want to avoid this situation for tax return in 2025. What can my son do so employer fills in federal income in both W2s divided according to his Non-resident status? Otherwise, what is his alternative for next tax return so that he is able to file electronically for federal and both NY & NJ state returns? Thanks in advance.
