I moved to CA from NY on 12/31, 2021 and lived in CA the entire year for 2022. However, I still had both NY and CA on my W-2. I went back to check my paycheck and it shows the very first 2 paychecks of 2022 are counted towards both NY and CA state tax taxable wages. My assumption is that I might have changed my address a bit slow after I moved to CA, thus resulting in the first 2 paychecks counted towards both states.
When I look at my W-2, I think for 2022, I only paid tax towards CA. The state wages/tips box (BOX 16) for CA is a bit less than the federal wages/ tip amount (BOX 1) and the state income tax for CA is based on the BOX 16 amount. However, the state wages/tips box (BOX 16) for NY is the same as the federal wages/ tip amount and the state income tax for NY is 0.
Do I still need to file taxes for both states even though I never lived in NY for the entire year and my company is also located in CA? If so, what amount should I put down for each individual state wages, tips?
