I have seen this topic on the board, but I just need further clarification:
I lived in NJ but worked in NYC in 2005. ON my W-2 in box 15 I have both NJ and NY then in box 16 I have 2 different state wages. In box 17- I only have state income tax for NY and not for NJ.
My question is- when I am filing my taxes (I am using an online tax prep program), how would I go about this? Should my employer have taken out taxes for NY- or should taxes have been taken out for NJ as well? As of now- I owe the state of NJ and I just want to be sure that I am filling out the form correctly.
Thanks for your help!
