- Part Year VA

- Part Year NY/NYC

- Moved from VA (1/2022 - 3/2022) - NYC (3/2022), same employer

- Annual Bonus (10/2022)

- Stock vest (10/2022), granted in VA in 2021

1. Does my situation require claiming any credits from VA or NY/NYC? It looks like my employer withholds a % for VA and NYC when I got my stock vest and annual bonus.

2. Am I being double taxed for Question 1, or is it being handled because my employer is doing the split and withholding for me? Is it typical for employers to not handle this, and if so is this where the credits come into play?

3. For NY portion, why am I asked about being a non-resident income? Would this only apply for the time period 1/2022 - 3/2022?

When entering your state tax returns, when multiple states are involved, you should enter your nonresidential state tax return first (VA).

Then enter your residential state tax return (NY).

It is recommended to prepare the nonresident state first, because your resident state will provide you a credit for the tax you pay to the nonresident state. By preparing the nonresident state first, TurboTax can transfer the credit information to your resident state to return.

For question #3. Yes it would be for the period 01/2022-03/2022, that would be your income earned in VA.

Thank you. If I used to live in VA but now live in NY/NYC, is VA now considered a non-residential state for me even though it says part year residence?

No, you will not prepare a non-resident tax return for VA if you moved from VA to New York in 2022. You will prepare part-year resident tax returns for both states. You must ensure that you entered the information in the personal section regarding where you lived in 2022. When you finish your federal tax return, you will go to the States section and will see part-year resident states listed for both states. Make sure that you prepare your former state tax return first then the state that you live in now.
