Living in NY state for entirety of 2023, but received unemployment benefits from CT

I have lived in New York State for the entire 2023 year, but received unemployment benefits from Connecticut for 9 months because my remote job was based there.  Do I get a credit from Connecticut for having paid taxes in both states, even as a nonresident?

If you paid Connecticut tax on your unemployment income, you can file a Non-Resident state return there.  You may get a refund, depending on the amount of your UI income, and the amount of tax paid.

 

Here's more info on How CT Taxes Non-Resident Income.   Prepare your non-resident return first.  Click this link for instructions on How to File a Non-Resident State Return.

 

New York will tax all of your income, but gives you a credit for tax you paid to CT, so you're not double-taxed.
