You can adjust the amounts on the New York line of your W-2. However the proper way to do it is on the New York allocation section,.
New York requires employers to report total earnings for the whole year in state wages and to adjust this on the return.
The New York section will ask you whether all your income was earned in NY.
- On New York Income Allocation, say No to Were all of your wages and/or your self-employment income earned in New York State?
- Edit Your W-2 on Your Form W-2 Summary
- Choose Allocate by Number or Days or Allocate by Percentage on Allocate Wages to New York (percentage is usually the easier calculation)
If you adjusted the amounts on your W-2, instead say Yes to Were all of your wages and/or your self-employment income earned in New York State? because you are only reporting NY amounts.
