State tax filing

No, the amount in Box 19 of your W-2 is the amount withheld from your paycheck for Yonkers tax for the year. 

 

The amount withheld from your husband's W-2 will flow to your NYS return as tax withheld. However, why did his employer withhold NYC tax? Was he a NYC resident at any point of the year. If so, this will need to be indicated on your return as well. 

 

The only portion of your husband's pay that is subject to Yonkers tax is the amount he earned in which he was a resident of Yonkers. You should not see his income appear on the Income Allocation screens. Rather, as you are completing your return, you should see a question regarding his Yonkers sourced income, in which you would enter No for this question. You do have to enter Yes on the following screen, Yonkers Resident Tax, which states that he is subject to the tax while a resident. On the screen that summarizes his wages for Yonkers, click Edit next to his W-2. If you go through these screens, you can allocate his wages by percent because he earned part while a resident and part while a nonresident.
