Thank you for your reply. I noticed I had a typo (which I just fixed) in my post. I was upset that money earned in TX was being used to take the NY Standard Deduction. The amount in column A which is from the Federal form has all income earned in both states. Then in the other column is NY earnings. Meanwhile the deduction is being taken from the Federal side, which already has the NY earnings factored in.
I have a meeting with my boss who is an accountant also and I'm hoping she can answer this also. Because depending on how I answer the questions in Turbo Tax, my daughter's NYS refund goes from $92 to all of if back (which I KNOW isn't right) to $482 (which MIGHT be correct). I'm good with numbers but sometimes the questions make no sense. One of them: The date you moved into or out of NYS. The answer could mean either it's the date you moved OUT of or IN to the state. I literally had to walk away from this for a day. But I'm hoping the answers on this thread helps. Thank you.
