Hi HANYC, thank you for joining the "Ask the Experts: Moving" special forum today.

 

Unless you can demonstrate that you "permanently change your domicile" by intent to CO, CA, UT, FL(no tax) and overseas, your current domicile is your state of residency, thus have income tax reporting requirement.

 

Each state has its own rules to determine the state residency. It is best to check with your State Department of Revenue (link inside below article.)

What is my state residency status?

The short period away from home is probably considered temporary absence, which does not create state filing requirement on CO, CA, UT.

 

Furthermore,  NY taxes telecommute income.

My primary office is inside New York State, but I am telecommuting from outside of the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Do I owe New York taxes on the income I earn while telecommuting?

If you are a nonresident whose primary office is in New York State, your days telecommuting during the pandemic are considered days worked in the state unless your employer has established a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location.

There are a number of factors that determine whether your employer has established a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location. In general, unless your employer specifically acted to establish a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location, you will continue to owe New York State income tax on income earned while telecommuting.
