Why won’t New York state form IT-203-B appear when I file as
a non-resident? I live in OH, but
because of travel, I need to allocate a portion of my wages to NY. This same situation existed in 2016. As with last year, I completed the Federal
return first, and then I began the NY non-resident return. (Per TT’s instructions, I completed the NY
non-resident state return before starting the OH state return.) The problem is: Last year, when working with TT, when asked
if my spouse had New York state-only income to report, I clicked “No”, and TT immediately
took me (I think) to my W2 summary, where I clicked on the “Edit” button and
was able to allocate my wages based on Number of Days worked. This info, in turn, populated the New York
state tax form IT-203-B. But this year,
after answering the question about my spouse, TT asked if I had any New York
state-only income to report. When I
clicked “No” (my wages aren’t New York state-only wages; they are split between
OH and NY, but my W2 indicates only OH), I was directed to a non-W2
screen. That’s not what my notes
indicate occurred last year.
Alternatively, if I click “Yes”, TT asks me to enter my wages; instead
of my W2 info appearing, TT wants me to enter my employer’s name and my wages (but
no withholdings; definitely odd). Bottom
line: I am unable to complete the NY
non-resident return, I cannot find, let alone complete, NY state tax form
IT-203-B (I need this form to allocate wages based on Number of Days worked),
and, more importantly, it appear that my W2 wages have not been transferred to
the NY return from my Federal return. The
NY withholdings have transferred over, but wages seem MIA. Any suggestions?
