Even if you have negative New York income, you are still required to file a return if the amount in the “Federal amount column (Form IT-203, line 31) exceeds your New York standard deduction.”
The federal column if federal income, not NY income, so unless your federal income is less than the New York standard deduction, you would be required to file.
