Hi TomD8,
I am considering CT to be my current domicile and prefer to be the resident of this state due to my decision for a long stay period at the company.
I have talked to my HR and it looks like my taxes are withhold for CT only. In that case I don’t think I really need to do a NY non-resident tax return for that period to claim for any refund. But I still don't understand why my paystub includes a status for both STATE 1 (CT) and STATE 2 (NY), as well as the W-2 form.
Considering all the scenarios, should I be filing a part year CT Resident Tax Return and a part year NY Resident Tax Return? Also, because my NY Income was too low, can I just keep it simple and just do NY non-residency tax return instead of part year?
If that’s possible, what would be considered optimum –
- Part-year NY Resident Tax Return & CT Resident Tax Return? Or
- CT Resident Tax Return & NY non-resident Tax Return?
Thanks!
