State tax filing

@smaines -- Yes, that's considered physically working in Rhode Island, and the income you earn on those days is taxable by RI (as well as by NY).  

Since you have RI income, you file a non-resident RI return reporting that income, in addition to your resident NY tax return reporting ALL your income.

You'll be able to take a credit on your NY return for the taxes you pay to RI on the income that is taxed by both states, so you won't be double-taxed.

In TurboTax, be sure to complete your non-resident return before you do your home state return, so that the credit flows properly.  In the personal info section of TT, enter your state of residence as NY and indicate that you had other state income from RI.  That will prompt the program to generate the correct state tax forms.
