My employer moved from RI to MA mid year. W2 Box 1 $25K - RI State Box 16 $25K & MA State Box 16 $14K totaling $39K not $25K. Contacted employer as well as Paychex but they have turned it into a blaming revolving door. RI confirmed they are wrong. Tried to file taxes but it increases what is owed to my non-resident state.

What can I do to get it corrected outside of these 2 entities? TY Patricia

In order to answer your question, we need to know 1) your state of residence; and 2) the state or states in which you physically worked.
