Thank you for a prompt and elaborate answer.
I did request a correction to state withheld taxes and it was implemented.
Most likely employer will NOT correct the W-2 and will NOT provide the explanation letter - currently they claim that no letter is necessary.
Could you answer the follow-up question:
What is the likely outcome on taxes owed/ refund in this scenario?
Am I correct in assuming the following:
- there will be no reciprocity between NY and NJ
- I will not be able to file NY tax return electronically
- I will have to pay to NJ 8 months of taxes and probably get a fine
- I should receive a full refund from NY but it may take a long time
- Employer is not obligated to correct W-2 or clarify anything to NY Tax authorities and there is nothing I can do.
- Turbotax will be able to help me through this convoluted filing
I'd appreciate any additional advice you may give on this matter.
