NY gambling deduction for NJ earnings/NJ resident
Hi, I'm a NJ resident, filing in NJ, but have some W-2 wage income in New York, so I need to file both states. I also have gambling earnings in New Jersey, but fully offset by losses (as per the federal level). For color, because of reporting and not actual earnings, I earned w2g's to the tune of $7mm....not true income as it's actually just activity and offset to zero when netting true losses. Now when I do my NY state tax, the standard way looks to take a factor of my NY state income by my federal AGI (pre-gambling deductions). But because of the federal AGI pre-deduction, it is putting me in the second highest bracket for NYS despite my actual NY income being nowhere near that. Shouldn't deductions come into play here? I know you can add deductions in the IT-196, row 29, but can that only be done for losses in NY or federal/NJ losses? Just seems weird that i would be put in the highest bracket for earnings not actually made. Thank you all in advance for your help, Johnny

what 1040 form to list sale of stock?
A Senior relative sold small shares of stock this year. He is filing on 1040SR. should he list the amount earned from the sale of the stock on a Schedule "d" form? this stock has been in his possession for over 40 years. So the sale of the stock would be 100% profit. Is there anything else he would need to do? thank you, Rosanne Maschek

MT state income tax issue
My wife and I live and work in TX, which has no state income tax. I worked part of the year in MT, and earned roughly $15,000 there. I didn't file a state return through my usual software because it wanted me to use my full joint federal income as my MT taxable income. I believe only the $15,000 I made in MT is taxable, but I see nowhere to file this unless I do it my self and mail it in and even then I can't find a clear answer as to what the actual MT taxable income is. I don't want to file myself and be wrong.
