Hmm ok I see, so to follow up. Lets take this example:
Moved from California to NY on 10/1/23 (stayed at same job).
Box 1: $150,000
California State Wages (box 16) : $120,000
NY State Wages (box 16) : $150,000 (NY has entire amount listed for state just to find correct tax % and then prorates later).
Local wages NYC (box 18) show how much I actually earned in NY alone: $50000
I can calculate how much I earned in California by doing Box 1 - Box 18 (150,000 - 50,000) = $100,000.
But my W2 lists my California state wages at $120,000, meaning I was taxed on $20,000 by both California and NY.
If I am understanding your answer correctly, this will be handled when I update my wages earned in California to $100,000 and will be credited in my California tax return.
Is this correct?
Thank you!
