NY State Nonresident Employee

HELP!!!!

Client owns manufacturing firm with sales office in NY (on LI). Hiring new salesperson (salary, no commissions) who is NJ resident. My reading of NY Pub 50 is that we must allocate income tax withholdings based upon number of days working in NY. She will most likely work 25% of time in NY office, 25% of time in home office (NJ) and 50% of time on road meegting with clients (all over the place).

How should I allocate this income?

NYEA and Bob W, please feel free to chime in.

Thanks in advance.

I personally hate this type of return. I usually do what you are saying, use 25%. I keep it simple, for me. That doesn't mean that it is the correct way, but I think 25% is correct. Complete the in-out of state days, and all will go OK.

sounds good to me Bob

I like simplicity.

Thanks for your help,
