State tax filing

MaryK1101

It made more sense to move me to New York office as New York timezone is closer to Europe timezone that I worked from. 

 

My understanding was that NY taxes all income that's NY based and that would include any wages/RSUs that I earned while working for NYC office even if I worked from overseas and consider myself to be a non-resident.

 

So since there was a California and New York withholdings on my RSUs that vested in 11/2021 how can I avoid a situation in which I end up paying double state taxes on these RSUs? That was my original question. I know that I need to file a NY state tax return - what I do not know is whether I can claim tax credit on taxes paid to CA in my NY state non-resident tax return. Is this something that's allowed or is there another mechanism that would allow me to avoid paying double taxes in my case?
