NYC income tax on W2 and I am not NYC resident

[lilycabrera6]

I am not nyc resident. my employer did not correct my w2 for most of the year. when I received my w2 it reflects the taxes paid to nyc. after completing my taxes on turbo tax I do not see that that amount is being return to me OR if I owed NYS taxes and that amount is paying that possible charge. could nyc taxes be forfeited?

If you are not a NYC resident, then you don't pay NYC  tax. When you file your NYS return, the taxes withheld are part of the total payments, which are used to offset your NYS tax liability. So the NYC withholdings are properly counted, not forfeited.
