No, that's not correct. If you live in New Jersey and worked in New York for only two months, your New York taxable income should include only the income you earned while working in New York. New Jersey, as your state of residence, taxes all your income, including what you earned in New York. However, New Jersey provides a credit for the taxes you paid to New York on the income earned there, to avoid double taxation.
To ensure accuracy, you should file a **New York nonresident tax return** to report the income earned in New York and a **New Jersey resident tax return** to report all your income. Be sure to calculate the credit for taxes paid to New York when filing your New Jersey return.
If you're using tax software or working with a tax professional, they can help you allocate your income correctly and claim the appropriate credits. Let me know if you'd like more guidance!
