Does Box 15 on a W2 show the state in which income was earned or the state to which taxes were paid? Both jobs only withheld NY taxes. You need to file a CT resident tax return and a NY IT-203 as a non-resident. You need to report your wages on both tax returns. However, you will get a credit on your CT tax return for the tax you paid to NY, so that your income is not taxed in both states. The state the taxes were paid to. If you lived in one state and worked in another, you should receive a W-2 for each state. The state listed on each W-2 is the state to which taxes shown on that W-2 were paid. At least that's how local taxes are reported on my W-2. Box 15 is the state the wages were reported too. Box 16 is the wages reported Box 17 is the state wages withheld Connecticut only has a capital gains and dividends income tax. There is no tax on W-2 earnings. The income you earned as a non-resident in New York is subject to the Non-Resident Tax in New York. The withholding that appears is for the NY non-resident tax return, which you can apply to your non-resident tax. Box 15 shows what you earned in New York and what was paid for NY on your behalf. You will not be getting a credit for CT purposes for the tax you pay in NY because CT does not have an income tax. CT DOES have income tax on wages. In fact, CT is one of only a few states that will asses a penalty for failure to file even when a refund is due if there were CT with holding on the W-2. I live in MA and have been doing taxes, including CT state returns for 16 years. |
