I lived in NJ for the whole year and I worked for the same company for the whole year as well.  However 65 days I worked in NY and 300 days I worked in NJ.  While filing turbotax questionnaire asks me to allocate my wage for NY which is my non-resident state.

 

  1. I chose to allocate by the number of days 
  2. Typed the number of days employed in NY: 65 ??? Should I put 365 here??
  3. For weekend days, holidays, sick leave, vacation etc:  I put all zeros since I work full time and get pay for all those. I don't know if this is correct
  4. For the number of days worked outside NY I put 300??? Should this be 0??
  5. I put 0 for days worked at home outside NY

Is this correct or do I need to calculate the weekends and vacation days?

2020 was a leap year, so the number of days employed will be 366 and 262 number of working days. Number of days employed should be 366. Weekends, holidays, sick leave, vacation, etc. will be the number of those days that took place during the 65 days you were in New York. The number of days worked outside of NY would be 262-65 = 197.
