Hi,
I work in NY and live in NJ. My W2 has federal wages which matches with my NY state wages in box 16 and with corresponding state taxes in box 17. I also have NJ state wages in box 16 (which less than my federal/NY state wages) but no corresponding state tax in box 17. Ideally, I should get credit for NJ taxes since I am paying taxes in NY (and my wages are from NY). How should I handle this situation on TT? Should I report entire wages in my NY return? Also, which wages should I report on my NJ tax return (NY/federal or NJ)?
Here is the sample
Federal wages 1000
NY state wages 1000 with 200 in box 17
NJ state wages 300 with no tax in box 17
So, should I report 300 in NJ or 1000 in NJ? Also, for NY should I report entire 1000 (which is expected)?
Thanks.
