Hello Gurus,

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.
 
Where did you earn $1050. Florida does not have tax. what does it says state tax column in W2. If this earning is not from NC sources but from Florida sources you need to file part year return at NC.
Tell us where did you work in NC or FL. so that i can suggest some thing.

It is not where your company is based. It is the state where did work?

Did you work in NC? (Employer might be in FL.) If yes you need to pay the taxes for NC.

Please Try to give full details.
 
MOG123,
What state is mentioned in your W2 form. (You must be having copies of W2 form). Just check it. If you don't find any thing other than FL, then it means, your employer has reported only FL income for you. That is good because, FL doesn't have state income tax.

Now when you file your taxes, by climing your wife as primery tax payer, that is fine... how you should fill the 1040/1040A or 1040EZ is just mention all your combined income for FED. While filling state income tax for NC, the income you should mention is just your wife's icome (don't include your income).

That way you will pay taxes to the income you made in NC.


Hope I did not threw you in to further chaos!
