I was a part-year resident of NY and CA (in that order) under the same employer throughout 2019. I received two W-2's from the employer:
- A standard one for CA
- Another one for NY, but with boxes 1-14 empty. Only boxes 15-20 and A-E are filled in. The control number (Box D) is different from the CA one.
Because Box 1 is empty for the second W-2, there are two immediate issues:
- I can't e-file
- According to the software, "New York State requires most taxpayers to file electronically if they are using tax software to prepare their return."
What can I do in this situation? Any help greatly appreciated.
