State tax filing

1. NY  gives several choices for how to allocate the income. You can use days or percentage in your case. I prefer percentage of dollars over figuring out days. So if you made $16000 in NY out of $32,000 total, that would be half or 50% of the income to NY. Look at your numbers and determine how much of it was earned in NY.

2. No, only the tax liability is used to calculate credit. CT will use the $266 to determine NJ credit.

3. Yes, take out the NJ wages and allocate the remainder between NY and CT based on whatever records you have. You may have a calendar or dates worked. Your employer may have records. Whatever you can substantiate.

Once you determine NY wages and tax liability, then you can fill out your resident CT return.
