State tax filing

Are you working in NYC or Yonkers or just the state of NY? Where are you getting this message?

 If you are just working in the state of NY, then as you walk through and answer the questions about NYC and Yonkers, just say no, you do not live or work there and continue through.  If you are not living in NYC or Yonkers, there is no affect on your return as returns other than NYC and Yonkers are not filed through TurboTax, they are filed with the local taxing authority.

 

If you do work in NYC or Yonkers, and your box 20 says Philadelphia, then this means that your employer withheld and paid taxes to Philadelphia for you, but not NYC or Yonkers so your associated state should be PA not NY. 

 

When you entered your W2, what was the associated state for Philadelphia?  PA or NY?
