I am a part year resident of New York City (moved in 05/22) and was previously in residing in MA. I am owed a state income tax refund in MA. When I file my state tax return for New York, it taxes my entire income for the year and not just the income emanating from New York. My MA income had nothing to do with New York.
I understand that New York reduces the tax amount based on what percentage of the income was earned within New York. However my question is should I also fill in the tax I paid in MA (Witheld tax - refund) to be taken into account while filing New York return?
For eg:
1) If my MA income was $400; my employer in MA withheld $100 and I am owed $20 refund, I still paid $80 tax on my MA income of $400.
2) My New York income is $1000, but New York is taxing me on $1400 and reducing the tax by 28% to account for out of New York income.
3) Can I still ask for tax credits for $80 I paid as taxes in MA, considering that New York is taxing my entire income?
