State tax filing

The reason for your issue is that you need to designate yourself as a part-year resident of New York and a part-year resident of New Jersey. Currently, you are showing as a full-year resident of New York. 

 

To do so, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Open the return.
  2. Click on My Info on the left-hand side.
  3. Click Edit next to your name. 
  4. Under State of Residence, enter New Jersey.
  5. Click yes that you lived in another state in 2021. 
  6. Enter New York
  7. Enter the date you became a NJ resident. 
  8. Click on State.
  9. Click Edit next to New York.
  10. Ensure NY residency is a part-year resident return. 
  11. Follow the on-screen instructions. 

Based on the residency time frame entered on the return (I estimated you lived in the city for 6 months), you are being charged NYC resident tax based on the time frame you lived in NYC.
