<prompt> Human: Hey guys! So Im filing my taxes and it says I owe NY 1400. It doesnt sound right to me as I lived in NJ for most of the year. I started working in NYC in August and then moved to NYC November 1st. Because I only lived in NYC for 60 days in 2017 do I even have to claim residency? I dont know anything about taxes but I feel having to 1400 to NY sounds off. Any help would be appreciated!  <response>: File part year resident returns for both NJ and NY. NJ file residency from 11 to 1031 and NY file residency from 111 to 1231.What is more likely happening is due to NY W2 reporting. NY requires state wages on a W2 box 16 to be the same as total federal taxable wages box 1. Then, you have to calculate how many days you worked in total during the year and how many days you worked in NY during the year. Divide NY days worked by total days worked which gives you a percentage should be about 42 since you started working in NY in August.Then you take that 42 and multiply it by your total federal wages box 1 and arrive at NY source wages. Overly complicated and annoying but that is what NY requires. If youve already done this then you probably didnt have NY income tax withheld box 17
