I'm trying to file a non-resident NY return. My wife and I live in NJ but she works in NY but I do not. When i go through the form it shows a very large NY return that can't be right. Everything looks accurate on my federal return, NJ return, but the software seems to be doubling her state tax withholding on the NY form which is causing the issue. How do I get it to not double her withholding amount??

On the Tax Pymt Works form it seems like the (13) Other State Tax Withholding is populating with the same value as (9) state witholding on form w-2. Is there anyway to fix this?

Check her W-2 entry to make sure something isn't being double-reported, especially if you imported it. Sometimes the employer provides multiple W-2s for out-of-state employees which causes an issue with the import.

Go to Federal > Wages & Income > Wages & Salaries. Click edit next to her W-2 and see if there is more than one entry for New York or a blank entry in the state section in Boxes 15-17. You can also check to see if her W-2 is in there twice on the Your W-2 info so far screen. If she has two W-2s, you want to put all the information on just one, with NY on one line for boxes 15-17 and NJ beneath it. You can click Add another state if both states are not on the same W-2. Once you do that, delete the other W-2.
