I start working in 2020 (I only have this job) for a very large company. I am a resident of NJ. and on Box C employer address also shows NJ employer. But, somehow I got 2 W-2, one NY and one NJ
First W-2 (NY); shows on Fed filing copy portion has a "TOTAL STATE" on box 15 (employer's state ID) and box 16 is empty and box 17 shows state income tax amount been paid . But, on NY state reference and filing portion all 3 (15,16,17) boxes have values
On the second copy for the NJ, it only has NJ state Filing copy; on Box 15 has NJ and employer's state ID NO (same as NY one but with additional /000 to the end), it shows taxable wages but NO tax withholding at all (box 17), while Box 16 do have a value
Any idea why is this and do I need file tax return on both States?
