Hi DianeW777,
I would like to first thank you very much for taking the time to respond.
Regarding box 16, I hesitate to put in only NY income as I remember that I saw this in my company W2 notes. "The State of New York requires that the Form W2 Box 16 must be equal to Box 1. I also saw below article below that mentioned the same. It seems like this is unique to New York only.

It seems like I have no choice but to put in my full year income in box 16 for NY.
I now have an additional question regarding box 16 for CA. In my paper W2, box 15 is blank with only comment "Total State" with no amount on box 16. When I imported W2 to Turbotax, 100% of my income for both CA and NY are auto populated. Do I put in 100% of my CA + NY in box 16 for CA or only CA income?
In my CA state return, I entered the double tax income in California Schedule S and got the full credit in my CA return. However, it seems like CA is still taxing me for my NY income since my pay stub had CA and NY deduction. I feel like I should not pay any CA taxes for my NY income. Does my explanation make sense to you? Can I just enter my CA total income in W2 box 16 and remove California Schedule S?
Still need to start for NY return. Not happy that I have to pay $45 to Turbotax for another state return.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
