Hi,
While doing my NY taxes (Non Resident), I initially entered 100% of my income as NY incorrectly. TT said I owed underpayment penalty and to minimize it I tried to annualize it. I corrected the % to the correct percentage now and I am now getting a refund from NY. I see a bunch of forms that TT generated (in addition to IT-203). Want to make sure which ones are necessary
1. Star Credit Advance Payment Reconciliation (IT-119) - I did not get this payment (Answered No) but still TT generated it. Any reason why TT generates this ? I just went through the interview that TT asked and this question was there in the interview.
2. Claim for Child and Dependant Care (IT-216). Again I did not have any money spent for Dependant care. Why does TT generate it ??
3.Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax by Individuals (IT-2105.9). I was entering my NY percentage of income incorrectly first for which TT said I owe an underpayment penalty. After entering the correct %, I am now getting a refund from NY. Shouldn't TT have removed this form, now that I get a refund from NY?
4.Annualized Income Installment worksheet (2105.9). I this this is again related to my underpayment, and I clicked on Annualizing in TT. Same question applies. Shouldn't TT have removed this form, now that I get a refund from NY
5.Non-resident or Part year resident spouse's certification (IT-203C). This is ok since only one of us got NY wages
Would it be easier to delete the state taxes and redo it correctly ? I also have NJ state tax (Resident). Not sure if I have to start that as well.
Thanks
1-5 Delete the unwanted forms. You can delete the state but deleting the forms should be good enough. You want your NY state done before you move to your resident state.
To delete forms:
Then prepare your resident state NJ return and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed in the non-resident state. The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same income. You may owe your resident state, if they have a higher tax rate.
