State tax filing

Don’t delete anything. To file a nonresident New York income tax return, allocate your wages to $0 in the New York section.

 

The New York section, TurboTax will ask you whether all your income was earned in NY.

 

  1. On “New York Income Allocation,” say No to Were all of your wages and/or your self-employment income earned in New York State?
  2. Edit “Your W-2 on Your Form W-2 Summary”
  3. Choose Allocate by Percentage on “Allocate Wages to New York” and enter 0%.

You may wish to mail in your New York return with an explanation about why you are claiming $0 New York wages. Enclose a copy of your California return to show you reported all of your income. A letter from your employer will be helpful.

 

If you do mail in your return, we suggest sending it by certified mail with delivery confirmation.
