Two State Returns - Lived in New Jersey for whole year, worked in NYC for part of year

[mmarti485]

While living the entire year in New Jersey, I worked for two companies. My first company is based in New Jersey, and all income was derived and taxed in New Jersey, this is ok. However, in October I switched companies to one that is in NYC and derived income from October to December, but again, I lived in New Jersey.

I now have 3 W-2s, one from the first company. The second company I have a W-2 for New Jersey that has Federal Income taxes withheld, Social Security an d Medical Tax withheld, but no State Income Tax withheld. The second W-2 is for New York, with no Federal/SS/Medical tax withheld, but there are State Income Tax with held.  

I am trying to figure out how to report these simaltaneously. I have tried filing both a New Jersey and New York, but am now being told I owe New York $1500 in taxes still, which makes doesnt seem to make since, as I am filing as a nonresident.

Did you Input the three W-2a EXACTLY as presented?

Even as s non-resident you would owe tax to NY.

Assuming you are using Cd/ download version , would be worth reviewing the math on the return line by line and getting comfortable it is correct
