Hello,
I also live in NJ but work in NY where my territory customers are.
I received both:
#1) a 1099-MISC from Hartford benefits for 6 weeks of STD under NY state (does not reach 80% of my salary) + 12 weeks bonding with the child under NY state.
#2) a W-2 from Sun Life insurance for the 6 weeks of STD covering the difference between what Hartford paid under NY state and 80% of my salary (I know, this is so complicated!).
Based on this thread, I am very clear on what to do with #1, the 1099-MISC. Thank you!
I don't see anyone posting about what to do with #2, the supplemental W-2. Weirdly, in box 15 of #2, the "employer's" (Sun Life's) state ID reported is NJ employee ID, not NY employee ID. Although box 16 (State wages, tips, etc.) and box 17 (State income tax) are reported as $0.00.
Do I need to report the #2 W-2 on my NY nonresident return, or only my NJ resident return? In the latter case, is NJ supposed to tax this W-2 paid for STD by the insurance? Thank you for any guidance on this.
