Sorry, it’s not that simple. I’m not speaking about things “I’ve read”, I’m speaking from first hand experience including fighting this via attorneys. I (as well as others) have not stepped foot in the state of NY for work for an entire calendar year in the past, did not live in NY when hired nor have any even pseudo claim to residency, yet do to convenience of employer regulations, pay NY state income tax on all income from said employer.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThat is wild. I do not see how that should survive a legal challenge (obviously it somehow has thus far if you are experiencing it), given the wording that NY state itself uses in their own tax law. Especially if you live and work in a state with income tax, because the Supreme Court ruled that the state where you work has the right to tax your income and other states have to give you a tax credit for taxes paid to the other state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comptroller_of_the_Treasury_of_Maryland_v._Wynne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comptroller_of_the_Treasury_of... Does your employer show an employer ID on your W-2 for the state you work in? Seems crazy to me that another state would allow New York to take its income tax from a person working in their state, and the federal courts to allow this to continue. Makes a mockery of the whole system.
