NY employer, live in DC, W-2s for work in NJ, NC-how to allocate

[njski58]

My daughter works for a NY based consulting firm but lives in Washington DC. She worked on assignments in NJ and NC for most of the year, with only a few days at work in NY. Her W-2s for NY and DC show the same income for the year. She also has W-2s for NJ and NC and had taxes withheld for those states.  Not sure how to allocate her income. Local taxes were withheld on her DC W-2, but only minimal taxes were withheld on the NY W-2.  Need help in determining how to calculate her NY, DC, NJ and NC tax liability. If 40% of her income came from an assignment in NJ and 10% came from NC, what is the liability to DC and NY?

Since your daughter is a resident of DC, all her income is taxable by DC.  That said, she will receive a credit for taxes paid to other states.  She should allocate the income earned while working in each of the other states to that state.  There is a screen in each state tax section of the program where you allocate income to that state.  The fact that her firm is based in NY has no relevance beyond the fact income she earned while working in NY is taxable by NY.
