Good day,

Client brings me his W-2.  NJ resident working in both NYS and NJ.  His NY wages show the full amount of Federal wages - no surprise as that is NYS requirement.  $8 in NYS withholding. Client was in NYS for 15 days out of the work year.

Is there a way to allocate wages based on days worked in NY as opposed to paying tax to NY on his entire wage (large amount due) and seeking a large credit on NJ for taxes paid to NY?

Thank you in advance for your input.  Greatly appreciated.
