W2 - Incorrect State

Hello,

 

I’ve incorrect state on W2 form and requested a W2c form but it will not come before the deadline.

Due to the incorrect state on W2, it implies that I owe taxes ~ 6000$ to NY state which is not correct as I moved from NY in 2020.

I consulted a tax expert and he said I should file for an extension and pay ~ 6000$ to NY state first and then request a full refund later with the corrected W2C.

 

Any suggestions? Please help.

 

Thanks.

I am wondering if your employer is based in New York. If that is the case, you have NY-source income, you might need to file an NYS nonresident return.

No. I've been working remoting in WA since March 2021. And moved to WA in December 2020. The employer is also in WA. 

 

The reason why I had NY on the W2 is that they used the old NY address for the first pay-check and then I requested to change the address but they already deducted NY state tax on the first pay-check.
