Dave T Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Client is a student in Mass but resident of New York State and dependent of his parents in NY. I believe he would be considered a Non-Resident in Mass and would file a return there for the money he made while in school. W-2 shows state as MA of course. The problem I seem to be having is that his earnigs from Mass. are also transferring to his New York State return. Can he claim a credit on his Mass return for taxes paid to New York and if so where does it appear on the MA return? Thanks very much. - Dave T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 NY will tax him on his worldwide income as a NY resident, just like the federal. But, NY offers a credit for taxes paid to MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Dave, you have it backwards. The home state will give credit for the taxes in the non-resident states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
