I live in NJ but work in NYC. I got married this year. For some reason, my employer took it upon themselves to change my marital status and exemptions on my W4 (but kept my NJ-W4 and NY IT-2104 as Single and Exemptions as Table A and 2). They apologized and told me to submit updated forms. This is what it says on my latest paycheck statement now, in bold red:
Filing Status: Married Filing Jointly
Exemptions/Allowances:
Federal: Standard Withholding Table, $150 Extra Withholding
Additional Tax Withholding Information
Taxable Marital Status:
NJ: Single
NY: Single
Exemptions/Allowances
NJ: Table A
NY: 2
EFFECTIVE THIS PAY PERIOD YOUR FEDERAL EXEMPTIONS HAVE BEEN CHANGED FROM 2 TO 0.
I'm actually okay with this turnout. Come filing time next year, would the fact that my pay statements say both "Single" and "MFJ" cause me trouble with the IRS? Thank you!

Duplicate post.
I posted it twice. I'm still getting the hang of this site. If you or anyone else has an answer to my question, I would appreciate it. Thank you! 🙂
