State tax filing

Same issue.

 

Last summer, (year 2020), my job taxed me in my resident state New Jersey because was telecommuting temporarily and was able to report to the New York office.

From my understanding, my wages are still considered  NY source income for the year. Regardless, if I was telecommuting. 

 

My W2, reports the allocated (prorated) Gross Wages for New York in the summary section.

Then in Box 16, the wages for New York, equals Federal wages for the entire year. 

 

Couple Questuons: 

(1) Should I request a new W2 from my company, to correct the Gross Wages in New York for the full year? Or would it work itself out when I file my returns because box 16 for NY wages is being reported the same as Federal, and just need to pay the additional taxes?

 

(2) Will I still be able to claim my NJ credit as a resident?
