Hi,
I recently started a new job. It's based in New York City but for the time being I'm living in Washington, DC and working remotely. That situation might last through the end of this year.
I know that I need to file a NYS tax return as well as a DC return. My questions are:
- Do I get a credit on my DC taxes for taxes I have to pay to New York State? (based on previous responses, it sounds like the answer is "mostly yes")
- How do I fill out the W4s for my new job? My employer told me to fill out NY and DC. I just filled them out like I normally would in previous jobs when I lived and worked in the same place, thinking that somehow my employer would figure out how the withholding should work (probably dumb). I just got my first paycheck and it looks like the full withholding is happening for both NY and DC. Should I be adjusting DC somehow to reflect the NYS taxes?
Thanks for your help!
