Thank you
1. I am not sure what you mean by NY based employer. Can I clarify if my employer is NY based with the below info?
The employer has offices in multiple states. It does not have an office in NC but I was working only from NC before and I suppose that means they have a tax location in NC even if not an office because there are other NC remote employees in NC also.
Now that I moved to NYC, I work from NYC but when I go back to NC I work from NC.
2.So to summarize, is the below correct?
-I'd file as part year resident for NY and part year resident, correct? Turbotax is recommending that I fill out a full year NY resident form. I'm not sure why. Would you know why that is since I only worked remotely for 10 months in NYC?
-Does it matter that my permanent place of abode is NYC but I go back to NC to visit and work remotely in terms of whether I am considered a part time or full time resident of NY for tax purposes?
-Regardless of if I file as a full year or part year resident of NYC, I'd get a credit from NC for any NC taxes. I paid for the time I was in NYC, correct?
-For NY am I taxed on only the NY income in 2024 (I lived there 10 months), correct?
-For NY am I taxed on only the NC income in 2024 (I lived there 2 months) correct?
3.
-I am not planning to change my W2 address and will keep my work address as NC for my W2 in the future because I don't want to change it. Is that ok and what are the implications?
-If I live in NY for the full year and my W2 has the NC address (if I don't change it at work) still does that affect my taxes and what are the implications?
4. For the part year residency of NC and part year residency of NY, Turbotax asks start date and end date of residency, if I go and come multiple times, do I just find out how many days I was in that state and make up the start date and end date to match the total number of days? I don't know I can enter multiple start and end dates in Turbotax.
5. Turbotax is also asking me to allocate interests, dividends and any Capital gains earned by state.
-Would that be allocated by the same ratio I lived in each state (same as the W2, 10 months in NYC and 8 months in NC).
-I don't remember where I was living when I earned those interest, dividends and capital gains because those are from many different stocks and throughout the year I think. In that case can I just allocate it based on the same ratio time I lived in each state?
-Do I have to allocate the interest, dividends and Capital gains by state? Can I just choose a state or the lower tax income state to allocate 100% to?
6. Does Turbotax include the city tax for living in NYC? If not, how is that typically paid?
