Hi,
My family was residing in one state and I was working in another state. Later we moved to another state with my family. My question is I didn't work in the state where my family was staying in the year 2003. Now I don't know how to file the tax to the state where my family was staying. Any advice is helpful!!
Thank you
 
Hello,

I Believe there is no state tax on indiduals. all we submit is 1040 to IRS.

if you work any state and end of year u have W2+whaterver u earn from other souces . you pay taxes .....

Is that help to you?

If not then realx don't panic... find any tax accountant/tax service (who provide tax services- they are every where-find them nearest ur home) they would charge $25-$50 and file ur taxes either online or by mail....


Good Luck to you.

You need not have to pay taxes if you do not have earning from the state where your family was staying. Hence you need not file your returns to that state.

Just pay the tax where you were working year 2003.

TX filings advice needed

I know this is not a tax related forum but i am GC waiter i read this everyday so i thought some of you can help me. ANyway, my Wife works in North Carolina. We live in North Carolina. My employer is based in Florida. I got W2 for $1050 from my FL based Employer. I heard that there is NO state tax in Fl . Is this true? My wife and myself are filing jointly my wife as a principal applicant/tax payer in NC. So how do i need to file my taxes in NC. Can i just show $1050 as my income while we filing in NC? How this works.
 
MOG,

I am assuming that you are filing joint return. Since your wife is the primary tax payer, her W2 and your W2 will be considered for federal tax. As for the state tax, your W2 form may show the name of the state and state tax withheld. If those boxes are blank (yes Florida does not have any state tax), you should not be required to file state return.

Disclaimer: I am not a tax consultant. Please verify with an accountant or research yourself before you file.
 
General Rule is this:

If you are a resident of a particular state, then you need to pay state tax of that particular state, on whatever income you earned, when you are in that state, even it is earned from other state. Only thing is you can claim credit for the taxes you paid in the other state.

If anyone go thru the instruction on that particular state tax Forms, it will give a clear picture of what are taxed , etc.

Usually, the consulting companies deduct taxes based on the state where they reside. e.g. if the co. is based on NJ and the person live in OH and if the co. deducts NJ state tax, then that person can file both NJ and OH state taxes, wherein, in NJ he/she can claim back for entire refund of state tax , stating that he/she never resided in NJ nor worked there. And pay state tax in OH. He/she can also attach the OH state tax form with the NJ state form.

To avoid all these, it is better to ask the employer to deduct the state tax where the employee lives/works.

Hope this helps.

How can you do that? Which form to file? If i know correctly there are two forms (resident and non-resident.) Where do you will state you have never worked and never stayed?

My friend has similar issue. He ended up in paying non-resident tax for NJ.
 
When he/she prepares NJ state tax return, non-resident form need to be chosen. Usually, this form contain 3 columns"

col. 1. Total Federal Income

col. 2. Income from NJ

col. 3. Income from other states.


If your co. has wrongly deducted tax from NJ (by this I mean, company has dedcuted state tax based on the state they have office, instead of deducting tax based on employee's place of work), then in col.2 , mention no income at all. that means, the taxpayer has no taxable income from NJ. No income from that state, so state tax also.

It is better to file a paper return, becos, you can also attach a note stating that taxpayer neither worked nor lived in NJ, and the co. has wrongly deducted NJ state tax.......

I have seen for one of my friends his CPA done like that.......

One can also attach the resident state return along with NJ non-resident return, just as a proof that the tax payer pays tax in one state.....


your friend might have left col. 2 with NJ income, so he ended up paying NJ state tax, I guess. If you use software to prepare the forms, it picks up data from your federal return, so col. 2 will be filled up automatically with NJ income.......

I hope this helps.

You can always consult a CPA for this, as I am not a qualified person. I am just sharing my experience.

MOG,

For Federal return, if you and your wife are filing with the status " married filing jointly", you can include your FL income along with your wife income and file.

For NC state tax return, there is a option, where it asks, whether taxpayer alone has income or both taxpayer and spouse both have income...... like that. Since your wife is the primary taxpayer in NC, your wife can mention that she alone has income from NC and file NC return. You need not include your FL income to that.


Hope this helps.
