Thank you both @TomD8 @Opus 17. Unfortunately, we lived two months in NYC in 2024 so that's why they're so aggressive and not willing to change withholding taxes. We'll see what happens. Right now, we are dealing with W2 forms mess, it appears, that although we lived only two months in NY and they in July finally stopped charging NY taxes, the box 16 (state wages) on NY state W2 form matches Box 1 (federal), which is untrue. NJ W2 forms show properly, NJ income for 10 months is smaller that Box 1, but I know that NY in 2003 changed the law and require employers to match state wages with federal wages on W2 forms. How do we adjust this? Should we adjust this on It-203 nonresident Federal-State Income and Adjustments worksheet? For example, if we lived in NYS for 2 months and they charged us NY tax for 6 months, should we only calculate those 2 months as the NY state taxable amount? What about 4 months extra we were charged NY taxes?
Thank you,
