What to fill for double-taxed income after moving if employer never changed tax situation?
I moved to Washington DC from New York City about 2/3 of the way through 2020, but unfortunately my employer chose not to change my address for taxation purposes and continued to pay me as if I lived in New York state (although I did manage to get them to stop withholding for New York City income tax after about a month).
I am almost finished filing with TurboTax Premier, however when I am filling out the information for my DC tax return, it asks me the amount of income that was double taxed by DC and New York. The answer for me is of course $0, since my employer never adjusted my taxes to pay any amount to DC. Because I lived in DC for 129 days of the year after my move, I believe I should've been paying DC some of my income tax?
I believe I owe 35.3% of my income tax to DC (129 days / 365 days = .3534), how do I fill out this screen correctly to get TurboTax to update how much I owe to DC?
Is this even possible to adjust correctly within TurboTax or do I need to hire a CPA? Also was thinking I may be able to use TurobTax Live, however, if the software is not capable of handling this situation, then I don't think a specialist can fix this for me either?
Thank you!
