Hi,

No I am not lost on the internet. I use ProSeries to prepare tax returns and have been preparing returns for over 15 years. This is the first time I have seen a client's W-2 report the same full income in box 16 for two different states. I guess I shouldn't have say "I' in the question and should have replaced it with my client. I feel the solution is the W-2 needs to be corrected with the MA income reported as zero and the full income amount remaining under NY. I am curious if other tax preparers have encountered the same issue and how they resolved it.

Thank you,

Sarah

It's not unusual for 2020 W-2 to report the same amount for two States due to remote work: State of residence and State of Employer. It's likely the W2 is not wrong.
