State tax filing

Your W-2 is correct. Do not allocate days. Say 100% of income is taxable to NY.

 

New York deferred compensation is taxable to nonresidents if it is related to income you received while pursuing a business, trade, profession, or occupation previously carried on in this state, whether or not as an employee, including but not limited to, covenants not to compete and termination agreements. See page 7 of the Instructions for IT-203, Nonresidents – New York source income.

 

Your former employer did not have to withhold both NY and other state tax. Your home state will give you credit for tax paid to NY.

 

File a nonresident NY return and a resident return in your home state.
