They just have the full amounts. I lived and worked in MA for part of the year and in NY the other part - so I have to file taxes for both states. I am trying to determine how to break down those earnings.</P> Tue, 31 Jan 2023 20:41:45 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-i-earned-income-in-two-states-how-do-i-figure-out-my-fica-and-medicare-takes-for-each-state/01/2848491#M136013 zmies1230 2023-01-31T20:41:45Z Re: I earned income in two states.

Social Security withholding is 6.2% of W-2, Box 3 Social Security wages and Medicare is 1.45% of W-2 Box 5.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>You can estimate the New York amounts in Box 3 and Box 5 based on the months/days you lived in NY and multiply by the percentages.</P> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 02:12:44 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-i-earned-income-in-two-states-how-do-i-figure-out-my-fica-and-medicare-takes-for-each-state/01/2849558#M136089 ErnieS0 2023-02-01T02:12:44Z Re: I earned income in two states.
