Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I'm a New York resident for tax purposes?
New York residency depends on your domicile (where you consider home) and the amount of time spent in the state. You're generally considered a resident if New York is your domicile or if you maintain a permanent place of abode in NY and spend more than 183 days in the state during the tax year.
Do I have to pay NYC tax if I work in the city but live outside?
Non-residents who work in New York City may be subject to the non-resident earnings tax, but this is generally much lower than the full NYC resident tax. However, under the "convenience of employer" rule, you may owe full NY state tax on income from a NY employer even if working remotely from another state.
How does New York treat retirement income and pensions?
New York provides some exclusions for retirement income. Up to $20,000 of private pension and retirement income may be excluded for taxpayers over 59½. Government pensions may have different treatment, and Social Security benefits are generally not taxed by New York.
What is the convenience of employer rule and how does it affect remote workers?
The convenience of employer rule means that if you work for a New York employer but work from home in another state for your convenience (not necessity), New York may still tax that income. This rule has become increasingly important with the rise of remote work arrangements.
