income taxes help


W-2 2 different states?

My husband got a job transfer from VA to MI. On 3 paychecks taxes from from both states were pulled out. I am filing part year for both states. I'm not sure how to distribute the income. On his W-2 Michigan wages are 1,283 and the Virginia wages are 1,840. The thing is box 1, the federal amount reported is 2656. Since box 16 and 18 do not total box 1, I am lost. Does anyone have any tips, advice? Thank You!

  1. My guess is that the employer tool out taxes for both states for part of the year. File a part year state return for both and put in the income earned in each state. They should equal box 1. You can get a credit against the reported wages if they were lower than the actual.
