Hello

During 2009 i lived in 3 states WA, CA and NY. I work in NY but live in NJ.
My W2 mentions the amount in CA. For NY, it shows the same amount as in total amount. For WA, it doesn't say anything.
For NY, my employer says its as per the rules and for WA he says it was not mentioned as it had no state tax.
So, while filing my tax how do i segregate the amounts for three different states.
Please help....

" I work in NY but live in NJ."---> So, NJ is your home state, as either a US citizen(national) or a US resident ( I guess under either US Tax Code or US INS Rules), you will report your worldwide income( if you have) and domestic income including NY( where you worked and earned the income) and CA income to CA and NY. You can claim a credit for your credit the taxes paid to NY and CA on your NJ income tax return .

" for WA he says it was not mentioned as it had no state tax. . . " Right. No State income tax in WA.
