Short Story: My LES for my Drill pay and AT orders kept saying that the state being claimed was NY
I had transferred back in 2018 and made sure finance had the forms.  Fast forward to June of 2019 and finally I get my correct claimed state, California. 
Now I put my W2 and California says I owe them taxes and NY is not giving anything back. Anyone ran into this hot mess ?

    Unfortunately, this is a common problem with the state being listed incorrectly on your W-2 form. The best way to resolve this problem is to get your employer to issue a corrected W-2 form.

     

    If you pay taxes in more that one state, your resident state will usually allow you a credit for taxes paid to another state. You should look for that option in TurboTax on the state tax return that you are completing for your resident state.
