Thank you for response. But code 99 is correct, not 53. Here claiming for two COJs "Multiple Jurisdictions" not for one but Two - 1) for NY state, 2) second with NYC city local govt.
Q: Can I claim two COJs (Credit for Other Jurisdiction) to offset NJ state tax liability?
Please provide more insight on how to justify NJ division of taxation with a better advise.
NJ tax dept. issued tax audit for a prior year. But in the past, 5 years back NJ Division of Taxation employee personally advised to use 99 code to offset NJ tax liability for these two taxes (1.NY state tax, 2.Local govt. NYC 1127 tax) and it worked, but now issued audit for 2017 year. How to justify?
NJ state not considering "NYC local govt. tax" paid by tax payer and saying it's "Condition of employment" but NYC govt. issues "N.Y.C. 1127.2 WAGE AND TAX STATEMENT" to employee and clearly says as tax along with W-2 form, employee gets two forms (W-2 + NYC 1127) in total from employer.
Please review and provide suggestion with a guidance to justify NJ division of taxation.
Note: We don't need to enter code, Turbotax automatically adds 99 code to NJ-1040 form at line 41a when we add multiple jurisdictions (i.e. two jurisdictions).
