The numbers are more than sloppy, they are (technically) flat-out wrong. New York State imposes income tax on out-of-state workers based on a convenience of the employer test. (The law was passed when workers started leaving NYC for nearby states when people discovered they could work from home before the pandemic.) So in many cases, even if you don't work in New York, you still get to pay New York State income tax, unless you check a bunch of (rather arbitrary) boxes. The law itself, IMO, should be struck down by the interstate commerce clause. Additionally, it's the wrong fix: if New York wants to retain citizens, they should reduce the tax burden to compete with neighboring states, not attempt to legally overreach and clutch money as hard as they can.
