NY taxes all NY source income. Which means if you worked the job all year, you would have NY tax all of it and PA give you a credit for tax paid to NY.
If the company is located in NY and PA, then wages would be split with your allocation and may already be split on the W2.
If your wages are PA, then you only pay NY for the days there.
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 NY return. This creates your tax liability for the non-resident state. How do I file a nonresident state return?
- THEN prepare your resident state PA 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.
