State tax filing

Most likely it is correct. 

 

Each state has a different method of reporting income and determining what is taxable in that state.  The New York state return does use the total amount of income reported on your Federal return as part of the calculation to determine the amount of New York taxable income.  The New York taxes should be prorated based on the income earned in New York or income earned while a New York resident to the total income on the Federal return.

 

If you are filing a resident and non-resident return, be sure to complete your non-resident return first.  If you are filing two part-year resident returns, pay close attention to the income allocated to each state.
