I was a NY non-resident for 2019. My W-2 box 16 reflects my full earnings for NY state. My office moved from NY to NJ at the end of January and my HR department gave me an exact figure for wages earned while in NY. Do I need to fill out IT-203-B? Or can I directly edit the NY State Amount (line 1) of the IT-203 to reflect my NY state wages?

Yes, you need to fill out IT-203-B. Unfortunately, NY nonresident wages must be allocated to New York according to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days worked in New York and denominator of which is the total number of days worked everywhere. I know you have an exact NY wage amount according to your HR department. As such, your allocation should be close to the amount of NY wages on your W-2. This is a favorite area of audit for the NY tax authorities.

Ugh. That's what I suspected. Thank you!

One follow up: I'm not an hourly waged worker and receive a fixed monthly salary, irrespective of the number of weekends in the month and paid holidays I take. Do I still need to subtract those 2 sets of days from my working days?
