Non-resident tax

[Angelo L]

I live in Minnesota.  Last week, I sold a home I had inherited in New Jersey.  They withheld a 2% Non-resident Tax.   Is this a tax I owe or is it an estimated tax for 2022?

The reason I ask is that last year (2021) I also sold an inherited property in New Jersey.  TurboTax did my taxes and I ended up paying $36 on top of the 2% Non-resident Tax and I don't see the 2% Non-resident Tax on my 2021 New Jersey return.

If it is an estimated tax, do I need to file an amended 2021 New Jersey return to get back that money?

Hi @Angelo L 

Yes, this is an estimated tax on what you possibly owe.  It does not reflect the actual amount you will end up owing to NJ.    

As far as last year, I would check to see if the state taxes withheld were entered on the 1099-S you received for the sale of the home.  If they were not, then you should amend. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax!

David,

Thank you for the reply.  I do not see the "out-of-state" real estate tax on the 1099-S.  It is on the HUD-1 form that I supplied to the TurboTax expert who did my taxes.

Since TurboTax did my taxes, should they file the amended New Jersey tax return or should I?
