State tax filing

Yes, I do see where the spouse's information was added twice and the first spouse's wage information did not get included in the return.  

I went to the state interview section and tried to enter the Taxpayer's information for his/her wages from their employer.  Did not allow me to enter information in accordance with the calendar year method. Here is my solution.

1. In the state interview section, select the add button underneath the Taxpayer's allocation section.. Add the TP's employer a second time and report the wages. This time the program will allow you to enter the days.
2. Now go to the spouses wage allocation section. Keep the information intact in the first part of the interview.
3. When it asks for the information again, zero out the days employed and leave the rest of the section blank. What this does is that it declares all New York income non-taxable in that second entry. This is what we want because the taxable New York income is already determined in the first part of the spouse's allocation.
4. Now go to your forms and view the allocation worksheet in your NY forms. You should see an allocation amount that is slightly less than $2M in Column 1D.
5.  Next go to your copy of the IT 203B. This will look a little odd but it is correct. 
6. You should see the spouse's information listed for his/her employer and the correct amount of the allocation in Schedule A.
7. For the second Schedule A allocation, you will see the TP's employer and then the correct allocation amount.
8. There is an entry in the third Schedule A but ignore that. That is appearing because of the steps entered step 3 above. This should not impact your NYS tax return.
9. Now verify that both Line P's total from the Schedule A's match line 1D of the allocation worksheets AND the New York state taxable amount in the IT-203 page 1. This should match.
10. Let me know if this works.
