Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to prevent double taxation. I moved from NC to NY (NYC) two weeks before the end of the year in 2023. I work from home on my computer in the state of NY (NYC).
My mailing address for my bank, drivers license, most other mail is in North Carolina as is my W-2. I prefer to keep my permanent mailing address in NC for it to be easier. I am not a resident of New York yet and am not sure if I am going to change my residency yet or just get a NY ID. I am not sure what will happen in the future or which state I will stay in but for now, I would like to be in NY.
1. State Residency- Would I need to be a resident of New York in order to prevent being double taxed? Is there a certain cutoff date of when someone is required to be a resident for a state for taxation purposes?
2. W2 Address-Do I need to update my W-2 mailing address to prevent being double taxed? I prefer to keep it NC if not in case I move to a different place in NYC and keep the NC address as the more permanent one.
3. Advice to prevent double taxation-Would you have any other advise on the best way to handle this to prevent double taxation? Is there any scenario where someone in this situation could be double taxed if they do something incorrectly?
Thank you for your help
