    State tax withheld in wrong state
    Hello

    My H1 holder is located in State of Illinois but I have been working in the State of Connecticut. The issue is my employer had the tax withheld to the state IL instead of CT. How do I have it fixed?

    Do I need to attach any form in particular?

    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Vanitha

    Where did you live in 2007 and 2008? Where do you live now?

    If you are present in a state, then any income earned during this period, must be reported to the state.

    Income before leaving NJ is NJ income.
    From Jan 2008 to June 2008 is MA income.
    From June 2008 to Aug 2008 is WA income
    From Aug 2008 to Dec 2008 is CT income.

    So you have for state returns. File if your income exceeds the filing requirements and to get refund.
