Hey! As subject state, I moved to Colorado from New York to remotely do my job which was historically based in New Jersey (So living in NYC and working in NJ -> Living in Colorado and remotely working for an office based in NJ). In July of 2021, I took a new role at the company based in NYC and am still living in Colorado and working remotely for a NYC office. My work w2 has no mention of CO but has my old NYC address (my parent's address who still live there).

Questions:

- I assume I would be filing 3 states, is this true?

------ NY - Non-resident

------ NJ - Non-resident

------ CO - Resident

- What would the order of the filings be?

- Which one is the one to which the credit applies. As things currently stand I'm owing a chunk to NYC despite applying a credit from the taxes paid to NJ (not sure I'm using the right amount?).

Would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

Possibly. You don't say when you moved to Colorado.

If you lived in Colorado for all of 2021, then you would file a resident Colorado return.

New jersey

When you say your job was "historically based in New Jersey" I assume you mean that prior to moving to Colorado you lived in New York City and worked in New Jersey.

NJ kept pre-pandemic rules in place until September 30. Up to that point, you were still considered a NJ employee due to pre-Covid-19 work arrangements.

You employer should have withheld NJ tax until then, so file a nonresident NJ return if you were a CO return for all that time.

New York

You would not owe any New York City income tax if you lived in CO for the whole year. Only people living in NYC pay NYC income tax. Go back into TurboTax and change your NYC wages to $0 in the NY section.

The problem is that you never updated your address with your employer, so you W-2 probably shows NYC wages in W-2 box 18.

If you lived in CO all year you would file a nonresident NY return.
