Hi all - I have historically filed state returns in NY and NJ (with NJ being the state where I lived and NY being the principal office of my employer that I attended few days a week). In 2022, the state taxes I paid mainly came from NY as I was tagged to the NY office of my employer. However, they do have offices in NJ as well and in 2023, I updated my home office address to be NJ since I lived in NJ and often worked from the NJ office. As I am filing my 2023 return, I am now reviewing this situation where my NYS return for 2023 will go down significantly in terms of income and NJ return will go up significantly as I will show most of my income in the NJ return. I still have about 20% of my W-2 income apportioned to NY given few days a week worth of work in NY throughout the year but it has gone from 100% W-2 income in NY in 2022 to 20% only in 2023.
Wondering if that will trigger an audit from NYS or draw any unnecessary attention from NYS and how to think / handle those situations?
Appreciate any insights from the group.
