Thank you, @SusanY1 I changed my portion to be NY resident for the full year. So, now we are both marked as full year NY residents. The refund numbers haven't changed, that's good. But the only thing that did change is that now in part E it says in both boxes that I and my wife have been in NYC for 12 months. The very top of the form still lists the spouse as the main filer (name, date of birth, ssn), and the second line for the line is all blank except for my SSN. Also, the NYC calculations are still all 0s.
Thanks again.
FYI... I am using desktop Deluxe version and NOT the online one.
