If you are a NYS resident, then all your income is included on your resident return and you get a credit for income tax paid to another state for wages sourced from that state. However, you will need to file that non-resident return as well.
If you worked for the same employer and were a part-year resident of two states, then you would have to file two part-year returns.
The first thing you want to do is make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, please make sure your resident state (as of December 31, 2020) listed under your name is correct.
- Then, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your other part-year/nonresident state is selected from the drop-down.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
- Click on State on the left hand side.
- Add the state of second state as a non-resident/part-year resident.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you are filing a NYS resident return and a non-resident return of another state, it is recommended that you complete the non-resident return first to ensure accurate calculations.
