How do I get a refund for NY PFL and SDI payments if I didn't owe to NY? If I put 0 days worked it calculates a refund for the income tax withholding but not those.

[Chasey-Tezak]

My company erroneously withheld NY State income tax and PFL/SDI payments for a couple paychecks after a promotion even though I work and live in Arizona.  If I do the NY State non resident form I have the option to claim 0 days worked in NY which shows the exact refund of all the NY state income tax that was withheld but I can't find anywhere to claim that I should not have been paying the PFL/SDI.

@Chasey-Tezak  before I completely reply did you work for a NYS company and assigned to a NYS office?  What type of work do you do for them?

Your employer though, if there was a mistake, should be the one filing and reimbursing you for both. you should not have to file a return.

See here for your employers instructions: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/wt/nys45xi.pdf

I agree with maglib. While this quote is not authoritative (it's from an insurance company that offers PFL services and benefits), they say, "If an employer collects payroll deductions for PFL and for any reason does not offer a PFL policy, the employer must return those funds to employees." See, The Standard.website under "Returning Employee Copntributions".
