State tax filing

@AmyC Thank you for your answer. You have provided some helpful information.

 

I have now figured out the above forms, and you were right, numbers were wrong in some places. I was supposed to use numbers on my W-2s as those included all necessary additions/subtractions form my paychecks in regard to tax/pre-tax numbers.

 

Based on what you said, I have verified that:

  • my NYS returns does include my whole income
  • for NJ, I have 401k contributions which according to Turbo Tax are not to be included in NJ taxable amounts. Is that correct? (Box 12 had D  $21,675).
  • all numbers were pro-rated (in particular, credit for income taxes paid to other jurisdictions)

Luckily I had started with NYS return as I remembered reading this advice on another thread 🙂

 

Thank you again!
