Other state tax

[Koki]

Where do I get the numeric value for the "amount of tax imposed by other state" on my w2?

I live in NY but worked in NJ. Is the "other state" in this case referring to NJ?

I would then be looking at the state tax imposed by NJ not NY correct?

I believe this is boxes16-19 on my w2 but I am unsure.

My token number is 1239987 NY

Yes. You should do the NJ return first to create the tax liability Then you would file the NY return.

Follow these steps to locate your tax liability for NJ and enter in NY

1. Log into your return
2. Select state taxes
3. Enter the non-resident NJ  for which you need the liability
4. On the left, go to Tax Tools
5. Select Tools
6. Select View Tax Summary
7. You will see Summary of your NJ Return at the top.
8. Locate the line that says Taxable Income
9. Locate the line that says Total Tax
10. Note those numbers
11. Return to your resident NY return and enter that number where it asks for the liability for NJ
12. Some states tax income the federal does not. For example: NJ taxes money you set aside in your retirement plan. Each state has different rules.
