Hello,
I used to live and work in New York. The company I work for is a small startup with payroll handled by Trinet. I moved to PA at the very end of 2020. My company decided to create a nexus in PA so I could avoid NY taxes, and this was done at the end of January 2021 (after 2 payroll periods) and my work location was changed to PA.
To make things simple, let's say that my income is $120,000 or $10,000 per month. My W-2 has NY and PA both at approximately $120,000. Shouldn't NY be only $10,000 (1 month) and PA be about $110,000?
When I did my taxes (which I now think are incorrect), Turbotax was saying that my taxable income in both PA and NY was around $120,000. I had to assign a % for NY (and I chose 8% for 1 month), and ended up owing money to NY (even though NY taxes were withheld from my first 2 paychecks in 2021), but I believe the issue is that my W-2 is incorrect.
Can someone help to confirm this?
Thank you.
Cindy
