NY teenager paying excessive state income tax
2021 is the first year my 17 year old son had a part-time job in a restaurant washing dishes. He made about $6100. I claimed him as a dependent on my 1040. I also filed a separate tax return for him. He had $58 federal tax withheld and $92 state tax withheld on his W2. As expected, he is getting the entire $58 federal tax refunded. However, TT tells me that he owes NY another $29. It doesn't seem right. For a $6100 summer job, he is paying 0 federal tax, and $121 NY state tax? Does NY not have any "exemption"?
Since he only had this one job, I basically entered his W2 info in the income section and that was it. I skipped all the other sections for income and deduction. Am I missing something?
