> my income counts towards the city GDP and tax base You pay taxes were you work instead of were you live? That is very unusual, typically you pay income taxes where you live. I don't see how paying taxes were you work could even work, what pays for your school or roads if all the money goes to another area?

> typically you pay income taxes where you live Some bigger US cities have a city income tax which is applied regardless of where you live. I had family living in NJ and working in NYC. They paid NYC income taxes, NY income taxes, NJ income taxes, and federal income taxes.

  You had me until NY State taxes were included. As I understand, only NY City taxes are required if you work in the City, but live in New Jersey. > Some bigger US cities have a city income tax As I know, there is only one in the US that has city specific income tax: NY City. Are there others?

You are a nonresident with New York source income and your New York adjusted gross income Federal amount column (Form IT-203, line 31) exceeds your New York standard deduction. IANAL, this isn't tax advice, I'm going by what I'm reading and what I was told by people who lived and worked there, but looking at this if you have an income made from working a job in the state of NY and ended up with more than $21k of income you need to file for NY state income taxes. There are a number of cities with income taxes. Detroit, Baltimore, Columbus, Cleveland, Louisville, Toledo, and many more. Of those I bothered looking in to, they apply if you work in that city regardless of wherever you live.
