My income was earned in NY however I was a part-time resident of CT during this year. My W2 only shows NY income tax. Where can I find my CT income tax?

Can I use the YTD for CT income tax from my paystubs?

You will need to contact your employer.  If you had state tax withholdings for CT, your W-2 Form should reflect this in Box 15-17.

You will need the information from this form to prepare your state income tax return to ensure you receive credits for any withholdings submitted by your employer on your behalf.

Thanks so much! I did live in NY for part of the year, so it currently shows NY and my NY wages/state tax on boxes 15-17. Should there be a second version/page of the W2 with my the wages/state tax from when I moved to CT?

If your job was located in NY, all of your income is subject to NY tax. Your employer was correct to report all of it as "NY income" in boxes 15-17.

If you moved to CT during 2020, then what you earned in NY after the move is subject to both NY and CT taxes. You will have to calculate the amount earned, possibly with the assistance of your employer's payroll department. You can also ask them to add CT as a reported state on your W-2, but NY will still show as the source of all your NY earnings.

You will have to file part-year resident returns for both states. Complete the NY return first so the program can give you a CT credit for taxes paid to NY while you were a CT resident. This is how the states avoid double taxation by allowing a state credit in your home state.

This post provides additional instructions on how to file in two states You moved to a different state during the tax year?

Your W-2 sounds correct. If you worked in New York all year, you owe tax to NY on all your wages because you worked in that state. So your employer will generally NOT withhold Connecticut tax because CT will give you a tax credit for tax paid to NY.

File a part-year NY tax return. Report all you income. Then file a part-year CT tax return and report the money you earned in NY while living in CT.

File a part-year CT tax return. In the Connecticut section look for Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State on the screen Take a look at Connecticut credit and taxes. Fill in the information to get a credit for your double taxed income.
