  9. Enter IN information, enter amount paid by you, on your behalf, continue

  12. Done

 

Let me explain how NY taxes. For a resident, he state adds up all income from everywhere and determines the tax liability on that amount. Then it gives credit for tax paid to other states on the same income. You can look at IT 201 line 38 and see your full taxable income with tax liability below it. Line 41 shows IT 112R credit with the amount you just entered. It is subtracted from your tax liability.
