State tax filing

Assuming the bonus is related to the same work that your regular wages are made from, then the bonus would still only be taxed by AZ.

So you would file a return for NYS with $0 income and the amount of taxes withheld that is shown on the W2 so you can get a refund of the taxes withheld.

Then you would file your AZ return and count ALL income as AZ taxable, meaning you may end up owing since taxes for the bonus were paid to the wrong state.
