    Dizzy Doing taxes for working in NYC as nonresident

    So Ive worked in Manhattan this past year and read that you also have to file taxes to New York city AND New York state?? I was just wondering how this would work for me as a nonresident, and also what forms would I be expected to file?

    Great link Zofia. The 'real world' highlights are as follows ...

    New York State and New York City both impose an income tax on anybody who earned more than $7,800 ( down to $3,100 if you are a student who can't claim herself on her own tax return ) of total income within New York borders during 2014.

    The NY IT-203 non-resident tax form is at . This form takes care of both NY state and NY city income taxes. You'll also need to attach ( additional ) copies of Schedule C and other federal tax schedules that were filed with your 2014 federal tax return.

    If you live in a state which levees its own income tax, and which has reciprocal arrangements with the state of NY ( like NJ, CT, PA, MA etc. ) the amount of income tax you must pay to NY can be used as a 'credit' to reduce taxes owed to your home state. Your home state 2014 'resident' tax return form will have lines to allow you to enter the amount of taxes you were required to pay to NY.

    The New York City tax authorities are notorious for combing through W2's and 1099's filed by NY based businesses to payees with out-of-state addresses, and tracking down those payees like a bloodhound if they haven't filed / paid NYC taxes. This is understandable since a large amount of very high earning pro athletes, Broadway performers, corporate business people etc. earn big money within NY borders while legally residing in other states.

    Thank you so much ladies! Glad I found this out before actually filing my taxes. My accountant didn't mention this to me last time I met with him (we're in NJ.) I'll def bring it up next time I see him.

    ^^^ NJ definitely has a 'reciprocal' state tax agreement with NY !!! I spent several years filling out NJ resident tax returns plus NY non-resident tax returns.
