You will need to claim a credit for taxes paid in another state once you moved to California.
New York taxes on all income from New York sources so you do need to pay taxes there.
As a California resident, you are also taxed on all income. However, as your income is from New York sources and is also taxed in New York, you will be able to claim a credit on your resident state tax return for any income taxed by both New York and California.
To ensure your return is calculated correctly, you will need to confirm a few items:
In the My Info section of TurboTax, confirm that you have entered the correct state information:
- Click Edit to the right of your name
- Confirm your input under #2 Tell us the state(s) you lived in. You will also be able to indicate your prior state of residence in this section as well so both part-year resident returns are prepared.
- Go back to the personal information section, and verify the mailing address and "Other state income" section. Be sure to answer yes or no as applicable to the question asking "Did you make money in any other states?".
- Review your input in the Federal section under Wages. Ensure you have only reported the New York wages and withholdings are reported on your W-2 Form.
Please note the following as it will affect the calculations:
When you are preparing more than one state return, make sure you prepare the part-year resident New York state tax returns first. Be sure to answer the questions correctly to ensure only income sourced to that state specifically are reported.
You will then prepare your California return. Be sure to answer the section about credits for taxes paid in another state to ensure you are not taxed twice on the same income in 2 states.
