NYS filing - a possible program error?
I am trying to do my DC and NY state taxes. My filing situation is as follows:
1. I am the primary filer and my residence is full year in DC. My wife has full year residence in NY.
2. Under NY state return section, General Residency is selected as non-resident form IT-203. This is the software's recommendation.
3. Under New York City and Yonkers allocation, I am listed as a non-resident of NYC and Yonkers, and my wife is listed as Full Year resident of NYC and nonresident of Yonkers.
4. In DC my residence is listed as Full Year Resident (form d-40). There is no place for residence for my wife. Also, in DC the filing status is set as Married Filing Separately on Same Return.
Problem is that when I print the forms, and go to form IT-203 for NY section, my wife's name is listed as the main filer and the spouse's area is all blank except for my SSN number. That's all. My name and info should be where her name and info is, and her info should be on the the spouse line. This is definitely not correct! Married status on that IT-203 form is "Married filing joint return". When i go to the section E, it shows correctly that I didn't live in NYS but my spouse lived there for 12 months. However, when I go down to points 51-55 where there should be NY city tax listed, all values are 0. Why is that? Please help. Thanks!
