Thanks for your reply. Just to confirm
1) It is not a CORRECTED W2.
2) your assumption that "I'm assuming the TOTAL of the state income for Both States is more than the federal AND that not either income for either state is more than the federal" is correct. For example, Federal is 50,000 and state 1 has 30,000 reported as income and State 2 has 32,000 reported as income.
3) I moved from VA to NC not the other way around
My real question is why would the sum of my reported state incomes 30K and 32 (in your example) on the W2 be greater than the total earned income for Federal. In my case this is true by over $5K and I seem to be owing a significant amount of state tax in VA. Is this a typical situation when you work in two states. I made the same income and did not work in the two states at the same time. I would expect the sum to be equal to the total federal wages?
