What does the partial income portion about? If u file in 2 states?

[RobertB4444]

If you are required to file in two different states because of a move or a job then you will register as a non-resident or part year resident in the state where you don't live.  Those states will tax part of your income but not all of it.

Here's some more info on multi state filing.

How do I figure that breakdown out?

Q. How do I figure that breakdown out?

A.  Simple answer: from your own records.

For more specific advice, we need more info.  What is your situation?  Did you move during the year? Do you live in one state and work in the other? Do you have income from another state (e.g. rental unit)?  What are the income sources (wages, pensions, etc), you need to allocate (breakdown). What are the two states?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I lived in Massachusetts for the first 6 months of 2021 working for a mass based company remotely. The 2nd half of 2021 I temporarily moved to Connecticut. I work remotely for a company not in CT or MA.

No rental property or Income  from CT at all.

Where (what state)  is the company you work for from CT?  What doe "temporarily" in CT mean?  Covid related? Are you still a MA resident? 

[jillian1888]

I came to CT to help family but will be leaving in the coming months. Yes I am technically still a MA resident

You file a full year resident MA return and pay MA  tax on all your income regardless of where earned. You file a non resident return for CT and pay  CT tax on the income your earned (from your out of state employer) while living there.  MA will give you a credit or partial credit, for the tax you pay CT.

If your employer is in NY, you may be subject to withholding for that state too.   If you work outside NY as a job requirement, you are only subject to New York State income tax on the days you work in New York. But if you work outside New York for your own convenience, you are subject to New York State income tax on all your income. Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Delaware and Arkansas have the same rule.
