deduct NY tax with taxes paid to NJ
Hi, thanks for your help. 1. I live in New York city for 5 months and New Jersey for the rest of the year. 2. I work in New York City for the whole year. Can I pay taxes only to New Jersey State? Concerns: 1. On my W2, the region is stated "new york city" and my tax preparer state that since I work in New york city, I need to pay NYC tax. 2. I would like to pay NJ tax and get rent deduction (18%), but since I deduct my NJ tax (by paying taxes to NYS) I couldn't get it. So my questions are 1. Can I pay taxes only to New Jersey State? 2. Is there a form that I should fill up to do so?
