@Franid
You didn't give any details of your "similar situation." We can't assume that the details of your situation are the same as either of the other two users who posted in this thread. To avoid confusion, I strongly suggest that you start over by posting a separate new question of your own, and give all the details of your particular situation (keeping in mind that people who see your new question will not have seen this thread). Do not add on any more to this old thread from a year and a half ago.
In your new separate question, give all of the following information.
- Clearly state the problem and your question about how to resolve it.
- What year are you asking about?
- What state did you live in during that year? Did you live in the same state for the entire year?
- What state did you work in during that year? Did you work in the same state for the entire year?
- (If you moved, or your job location changed, give the details.)
- If you worked in New Jersey, did you work at a company location in New Jersey, or did you work at home? If you worked at home, and your employer was located in New York, i.e. you telecommuted, that could create complications. If that is the situation, why were you working at home?
- If you did not live or work in New York at all, why did your employer withhold New York tax?
- What is in boxes 15 through 20 of your W-2? If there is more than one line of state information in those boxes, what is on each line?
- Have you asked your employer to give you a corrected W-2? If so, what was their response? Do you expect them to correct it?
- Have you filed any state tax returns for the year in question?
- Provide any other information that you think might be relevant.
Again, do not reply here. Post a new separate question of your own, and include all the details so that someone can help you.
