<prompt> Human: Im no good at social media anything, Reddit included so here goes nothing. I live in NJ and work in NYC, I just found out that I owe over a grand to the state of NY because my job didnt take any NY State or Local tax out of my paychecks. Do I have to pay all that back money? I didnt tell them to do this, they made the mistake. There are 6 of us employees and now we all owe money. It shouldnt be fair that i have to make up for someone elses incompetence. If you could advise me as to some course of actions or any info really Id greatly appreciate it. Thanks Edit- Thanks for the info guys its much appreciated. I found out its not state tax that I owe its NYC local tax, now an accountant told me because I live in NJ Im not responsible for local tax thats for NY residents only. That should change things right? They are charging me something Im not responsible for  <response>: Yes you have to pay it, its your responsibility to check every pay check that your taxes are correct. And its not like this is costing you money, you just got more each pay check than you were supposed to.
