State tax filing

Your original question is unclear. In answering your question, I am assuming that you and your husband both lived and worked in New York for 8 months. You then moved to New Jersey, at which point your husband continued to work in NY, and you lived and worked in NJ and were not subject to tax in NY under the “convenience of the employer rule” and are reporting no NY income for your period of non-residency.

 

If this is true, your double-taxed income is 25% of your husband’s income (4 months), since this is the only income being taxed by both NY and NJ.

 

Income taxed by another state will be 25% of your husband’s wages.

 

New York tax will be 14.29% of IT-203 line 46. 

 

Suppose you and your husband both made $100,000 ($200,000 total). Your NY income is $175,000 ($100,000 him and $75,000 you – 8 months). Of this amount, $25,000 is taxed by NJ (4 months of his salary). $25k/$175k is 14.29%.
