I have a question on filing my NY State tax return with regards to partial NYC residency. I lived in NYC for 8-months between January and August 2020. I then lived in upstate NY (Orange County) for the remaining 4-months of the year between September and December.
Under the "New York City and Yonkers Information" section of the state return portion, there's a page titled "Allocate New York State Adjustments" where it instructs you allocate the NY State adjustments based on the time I lived in NYC.
Should I prorate the total NY State Adjustment amount (for discussion, say $8,000) for 8-months (67%) as earned in NYC, and show the rest in upstate NY? My employer remained based in Manhattan/NYC the entire time. If allocating only a portion of the total NY State adjustment to NYC, my state return increases significantly. If I leave as the income earned 100% as a resident, it's much lower.
Thank you for any insight.
Thank you.
