Thanks! And one more question...
Thanks for the prompt response ATE! Much appreciated and very helpful... I guess for some reason I always thought the tax on a 11K bonus would be much more...
I have some questions, regarding state tax filing. I am currently living in NJ working in New york city. As I mentioned I started working August 2004, and on F-1 status. In oct 2004, I received my H-1B.
1. I know I need to file the New York State Non-resident return (IT-203). And I think the New Jersey Non-resident/part-time resident return (NJ-1040 NR) Is this correct? Are the state filings any different for residents/non-residents not meeting the substantial presence test?
2. However, when filing the NJ form, the amount I received from NJ sources was 0 (since I worked for a company in NY). Hence, the tax ends up being 0 - is this correct? I was under the assumption that I pay tax to NJ and NY, and then file NJ Schedule A to retrieve my NY income.
Only NY state tax was withheld from me (for a total of $1006 on a $30483 wages).
Thanks again...
