No you shouldn't need to bite the bullet. Try this !!
As you go through your NY questions, you should reach a screen that says:
!) New York income allocation. If it asks if all your wages were earned in NY, say no.
2) At W2 summary, indicate done
3) If it asks about the from 203-F, say no
4) Scroll through the questions when it asks for NY resident income. Here you can determine how much of those wages were earned while a resident of NY. The best way is to determine how many days you lived in NY xxx. Then take a ratio of (xxx/365)(total income of the W2). whatever amount of that income is is what is taxed in NY.
