I work for a company that has offices in multiple states - NY, IL, CA, TX, FL etc.
In 2022 I worked for their NY office Jan 1 - March 31st. On April 1st I made an official transfer to Texas - I purchased a home and got permission from my manager to work remotely from that home full time. HR systems changed my employee profile from 'NY worker' to 'Texas remote worker' as of April 1st and my badge access to the NY office was revoked. Also, HR stopped deducting my NY state taxes as of April 1st. I continued working remotely from Texas for the rest of the year and not worked any day in our NY office after I moved to Texas. I support sales teams that are located in multiple states so it's impossible to state which state I do work for.
I received a single W2 from my employer - the W2 is generated in Illinois (that's where our payroll dept is) and has Illinois address of the employer but the employer has license to do business in 40 states (it's a bank).
On TurboTax, I was asked to "allocate my NY State earnings". So I took the number of days I worked for the NY office (Jan-March: 90 days), divided by 365 = 0.25 and multiplied this by annual earnings to come up with the amount I earned while working for the NY office. Will this trigger an audit from NY tax dept?
I am not linked to any Texas office on the HR system although there are two offices in Texas - in Dallas and in Houston and I do support the teams that are based there.
Do I need to be linked to any of these offices in Texas to prove to NY that I am not working in NY state anymore? Or will my explanation that I gave above be sufficient for the NY auditors?
