Tax-withholding for wrong state

amitwagh17 — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 19:36:53 GMT

I am tax resident of CA for 2018(Worked full year in CA). My Wife got job in May & worked in FL for 2 months. She moved back to CA in July. From May - July, her employer was withholding taxes as per CA state. I have few question :

1) Do we need to ask employer to correct W2 ?

2) Will we get tax refund for FL timeframe as FL doesn't have state income tax ?

3) How we can calculate income earned in CA?

Appreciate your help. Thanks

just go through TT questions and there will be a point where TT asks if she was a resident of CA for the whole year; it provides the opportunity to indicate she was a non-resident for a period of time. Just trust the TT calculations from there. No need to calculate anything on your own (that is why you are buying the software, so that THEY do the calcs!)
