State tax filing

That's just a workaround to get TT to allocate the income on the NY forms.  What you enter is not sent to the IRS or the NY Dept of Taxation and Finance.  But, yes the Dept of Taxation and Finance may question it, because the copy of your W-2, they got from your employer says you have NYS income.  You may want to mail your state return with an explanation statement attached.
