    Live in NY work in NJ - only NJ W2 - which W2 to attach with NY packet
    I had asked some questions regarding filing status for NY resident NJ non resident couple. Here is the link : https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/taxes/...ly-197701.html

    I have one more question regarding this situation. My w2 only contains a New Jersey state filing copy and a New Jersey State reference copy along with similar two for federal.
    I am attaching the NJ state copy to NJ non resident forms. So which W2 should I attach to my New York state resident tax packet?

    Thanks in advance.

    You should attach one of the Copy 2 W-2 forms to your NY return - one that says "To be filed with employee's state, city, or local Income Tax Return" Even though no taxes were withheld for NY, it verifies your wages and shows that you have indeed paid taxes to another jurisdiction.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. W2 has 2 such 'Copy 2 to be filed with employee's state income tax' . One of them is the 'NJ State Filing copy' which I am attaching to the NJ state Non Resident return. The other is the 'NJ State Reference Copy'. Are you suggesting that I attach the NJ state reference copy to my NY state return. I always thought that its for the employee to keep as a reference. Thanks again.

    You should have been given 2 copies of the "Copy 2 to be filed with enployee's state city or local income tax." Use one for each state return. You keep Copy C - "For employee's records."

    If you don't have enough copy 2's, just xerox one and use it.

    In that I would have to xerox it as the W2 contains 4 copies - 2 state and 2 federal. As I have explained about the state copies in my previous post, one of them is for state filing and the other is employees reference copy. In fact when I worked in NY, same was the case with NY W2s. It would be really convinient to have two copy 2s.

    Thanks for response.
