Hi,
I stayed in NJ for the whole of year 2005. I received income for December 2005 from Hawthorne, NY. It is below 7,500$. I have enclosed both nj and ny w2 for federal taxes and filed NJ state tax as well. Do I have to file for NY state taxes too?

Thanks,
Diwakar

Btw, my w2 indicates 0$ withheld from NY state

You need to file because your total income is above 7500.

You should owe no tax anyways.

Thanks Vaya.

That is what I expected but it turns out that the tax softwares doesn't allow NJ address on their forms (pull down menu/edit boxes) and it generates a ridiculous 700$ payment to NY state.

Thanks again,
Diwakar

Make sure you file as NY non-resident (form IT-203).

Thanks Vaya.

I will paper file the state tax returns. Free softwares through .gov seem to be catering resident filing.
