Question
Why full year New Jersey resident working for NJ company pay tax to New York?
Client is a New Jersey resident working for a New Jersey company, but during 2019 he lived in New York for two weeks for a surgery, for that reason the company HR changed his payroll to NY for those two weeks. He has W-2 from both NJ and NY, with NJ one having the majority of state withholding and NY has only fraction.
When prepare his return with Intuit Proconnect, the client was set up as a full year NJ resident and Nonresident/Part-year NY resident, and W-2 information were entered as they should be. But the return as prepared shows that he has to pay most tax to NY and get credit from NJ. Should it be the opposite since the income source is from NJ? Did I miss something when use the software?
