State tax filing
Your W2 looks like your are a full year NY resident. In that case, NY taxes everything you earn everywhere, which is creating the doubled income. You need to go back to the W2 screen and delete the NY state information.
Because NY is your resident state, it will give you a credit for the taxes paid to NJ and GA.
Please carefully follow these directions.
You will need to prepare the states in a special order. You may need to delete both states and begin again.
- First, prepare your non-resident NJ and GA returns. This creates your tax liability for the non-resident state. How do I file a nonresident state return?
- THEN prepare your resident state return and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed in the non-resident state.
- The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same income. You may owe your resident state.
It isn't possible for the program to create a credit before it knows the liability. Your returns may be wrong if you do not prepare the states in this order.
