Although the above advice might be correct (in a general
sense), the situation is even easier as Florida has no state
income tax.

NYS changed the rules on how employers report wages several
years ago. They now require that the employer report NY
wages to be identical to Federal wages.

Your employer could very well be correct in the way the W2
is presented. On your NY part year resident return, you
would allocate your wages properly.

Does the W2 show what the employer withheld even though it
was in error? X dollars in tax sent to NY and Y dollars in
tax send to FL.

If that is true then just file with both states using the
reported amounts. You will get a refund from one state and
owe it to another.

If you are still working for the same company then make sure
that it is corrected before the end of this year and he has
paid all the taxes. It is too late to correct last year
since the money is already paid.

Ask them??? Seems to work most other places.

In adition, it's possible that your wages are still subject
to NY taxes, depending on the various facts and
circumstances. NY was sucessful in taxing a Tennessee
telecommuter who "worked" on the NY based computers. You
may fall into a similar situation.

I worked in NY from 1/1/05 to 8/27/05 and then I moved to
FL. I asked my employer to stop NY state tax on my paychecks
and that was done. However, on my 2005 W-2, my entire year's
wage was on NY State. To make it correct, only 3/4 of my
wage should be on NY State and 1/4 on FL. Does anyone know
how to make my employer correct my W2 before April 15?

Thanks.
