Hi Ernie-
I basically have the same question that you’ve addressed but wanted to follow up with my specifics. I live in NJ and work in NY. My wife and I were both had parental leave and received the following:
- 3 W2s related to PFL or disability. All were marked as sick pay in Box 13 and noted NY as the state Box15.
- 1 1099-MISC related to PFL. It was noted as Other Income. The income amt was noted in the state income box (there was no state withholding), but no state was noted (not sure why but should be NY like the others.)
As you stated and was my understanding previously, this income is taxable in NY, but not in NJ. However, like some of these other folks, this income is being included in Gross NJ Income after completing the federal and the two state returns in TurboTax.
A few questions:
Why is it including gross income for my NJ return? Is that how it should be and then gets subtracted/deducted out or should it not be included in the first place?
If it needs to be subtracted/deducted, how do I do that?
- Re: 1099-MISC income: I saw you suggested entering a negative for the corresponding Other Income and the person you responded to got an error message saying you can’t have negative amount. Can you please address that as I would expect to run into the same issue?
- Re: W2 sick pay income-how do I remove that from NJ income?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
