Question

Nonresident New York State Tax

New York State wants us to file part-year resident returns for folks like us who are nonresident.  That is, we stay there for 3 month and return home. Does the Turbotax software handle this. I believe it is a form IT-203. We don't actually move there.

Yes.  You can file a New York part-year resident or non-resident return using TurboTax.  Have you already filed your federal return?  You cannot prepare a state return by itself, you will have to create it along with a federal tax return.  If you have already filed your federal return, you can recreate it in TurboTax and prepare a New York part-year resident return.  Also, if you don't e-file your federal return you cannot e-file your state return.  You will have to print and mail it.

Thanks for the reply. I have prepared my Federal and Colorado state returns. I bought the NY State addition and did the work, but the results appear to be disastrous. It seems to be full of mistakes. For example, on form IT-203, the main form, line 32 is supposed to be a copy of line 31, but it is zero. The remaining calculations are based on that number. Also, on one of the worksheets it looks like it should proportion the figures by the percent of time in the state, but it is not. I may be wrong on that. I don't know how to move forward.

Can someone please help me. There seems to be a bug in the New York IT-203 form. See my comment above. I really don't know what to do.  HELP!
