In 2021 I lived a few months in Connecticut, and then moved to NYC for last 3 months of that year. My job was always in NYC, but my employer only withheld 2021 CT state taxes. For my 2021 taxes, I declared New York as my residence and filed in CT as a non-resident. For the first month of 2022, my employer continued to withhold CT state taxes until I finally got it changed to NY in February. So my 2022 W-2 has 1 months worth of CT withholdings and 11 months for NY. For 2022, I will need to file again as a CT non-resident in order to try and get some that state tax money back.
Questions:
#1 In the Turbo Tax Personal Info / Other State Income section: How do I answer "Did you make money in any other state?" Do I answer "Yes" because my NY employer took out Connecticut taxes even though I never worked in Connecticut and was a NY resident for all of 2022? Or do I answer No, since technically I only made my money in the state of New York? If I answer "No" then how do I file with Connecticut?
#2 I received 2 W-2s, one for each state. CT boxes 16 (state wages, tips,etc) show my wages for January and the taxes withheld in box 17. For the NY W2, boxes 16 & 17 have the earnings/taxes for the other 11 months.
The Help section (https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/file-nonresi[product k...) says to "enter 0 for the amount of income earned in that state" to get a full refund. Can I do this even though box 16 on my W2 shows a positive number??
Thank you
