State tax filing
You will be filing a part-year return for PA and a part-year return for NY. Also, according to the CT Department of Revenue, "Wages of a nonresident are not subject to Connecticut income tax withholding if the wages are paid for services performed entirely outside of Connecticut."
So unless you physically worked in CT there will be no tax due there. You will need to file a non-resident return with CT to claim a refund of taxes withheld for CT.
Ultimately you will get a refund from CT but have to pay PA since nothing was withheld there. Depending on the level of NY withholding you should be good there.
To generate the correct forms:
- In the "My Info" section edit your information
- Indicate you lived in NY on 31 December
- Yes you lived in another state (PA)
- Enter the date you moved to NY
- Continue (This generates the part-year returns)
- Still in "My Info" scroll down to "Other State Income"
- Answer "Yes" you earned income in another state
- Select CT
- Continue (This generates the CT non-resident return)
- In the "Wages & Income" section now
- Enter your forms W2
- Add a line in the state area (Boxes 15-17) with PA and the employer's federal ID number with no spaces/dashes, the W2 box 1 amount in box 16 and a zero in box 17
- Continue as needed to complete the "Income" entries
- Next work the CT state interview
- Allocate zero (0) income to CT throughout the interview
- The result should be all taxes withheld there show as a refund
- Next work your PA return
- Allocate 1/3 (4 of 12 months) of the wages to PA when asked
- Allocate any other income sources as needed if received while living in PA
- Finally complete the NY return
- Allocate 2/3 (8 of 12 months) of the wages to NY when asked
- Allocate any other income sources as needed if received while living in NY
