I am filling out my state taxes for NY. I was a partial resident of NYC. In the 'New York City and Yonkers Information' section, is 'Your Wages Summary' box 18 of W2?

Box 18 on my w2 is $152 while box 1 is 63,000. I am confused what to put as summary of all wages in the NYC information section. I believe that it should be 152 as my taxable wages while a resident of NYC because I can not edit this information in turbo tax, but I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

This is likely correct, but it does depend. Your NYC wages are the wages you earn within NYC as a NYC resident. NYC does not tax a NYC nonresident, nor does NYC tax a NYC resident working outside of NYC. If you reported your residency to your company (HR or payroll) timely, those numbers should be correct. If you suspect that they are not, you should talk with them about a corrected W2 form because the information you have on your W2 is what NY State also has.

Hi, my problem is the same or similar. I am an NYC part-year resident (full year resident of New York State). I entered the dates properly in Turbotax under the state return. The next screen lists my "Wages Summary-New York City" and I just can't figure out how Turbotax generated these figures for my various employers. The numbers are a very small percentage of income and I think this cannot be right. Where did this math come from and what should I do? Thank you!
