Moved to Texas and Job did not update work location from New York

I moved out of New York in July 2020 to Texas. My employer Did NOT update the work location on their end until May 2021. I paid NY State taxes until 15 May 2021 even though NY was not my domicile until the office location was updated on my employers side that NY taxes stopped being taken out.

I'm filing an out of state resident as well.

 

I did not work or live in NY at all in 2021, but employer office was based out of NY. I worked in Texas all of 2021.

 

Questions:

1) Is it possible to get the amount back from NYS that I paid? (without having to hassle employer to update W2?, which i doubt they will as there is no paper trail and they had no sense of urgency to update it until May of 2021). Do i allocate "0%" to NY State?

 

2) Do if i just bite the bullet and allocate as if I worked in NY (134 days in NY and the rest of of NY?) Would the best allocation be a %? In this case 36% or so. I would lose some money here, but at this point I just want to file on time without extension.

 

I don't know how to proceed with this portion in TurboTax with the allocation or otherwise.
