State tax filing

If you worked 0 days in New York, then you would allocate 0 days in TurboTax. You can do this even if your W-2 reflects a different allocation. 

 

I did a mock-up return for this situation. I used New Mexico as my resident state and New York as my nonresident state with my wages divided on my W-2 input on the federal side. 

  • On the page Total Days Employed, I entered 366
  • On the page Non-Working Days, I entered 20 under Other Nonworking Days
  • On the page Work Days Outside of New York, I entered 346 in the column Outside of New York (please note - there are different rules for telecommuting due to Covid-19)
  • TurboTax then allocated 100% of my New York allocated wages on my W-2 to my resident state. It shows $0 under Wages for New York.
