It depends. According to this Turbo Tax source, your remote work in NY may be taxable if you’re doing it for yourself and not because your employer requires you to work remotely hence the convenience of employer rule that you refer to. The issue is that is now you are under the jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut not New York but your employer still insists on withholding taxes in the state of New York. At this juncture, you may handle this in one of two ways.
- Do nothing. You can file a NYS non-resident return and be refunded for all your withholding taxes paid to New York State during the year since you never lived there.
- You can go to the following NYS website and follow instructions on filing an exemption for withholding. According to the instructions, you must file one of the following with your employer to exempt tax withholdings.
- Form IT-2104-E, Certificate of Exemption from Withholding,
- Form IT-2104-IND, New York State Certificate of Exemption from Withholding
- Form IT-2104-MS, New York State Withholding Exemption Certificate for Military Service Personnel.
