I recently moved from MD to NY and have to file two state returns for this tax year. I entered in my MD state tax return first and then did the allocation by percent to NY and everything went smoothly. I got to the tax number review and found that it was taking my total federal adjusted gross income as opposed to the amount that was allocated to NY for the short time I have lived here. Is this accurate or did I mess up along the way? Seems crazy to be taxed on your total federal adjusted gross income instead of the amount I actually earned in the state, but maybe that's NY?
