For New York State, you must have a claim of right on your federal tax return that was subject to New York State taxes in the prior year in order for the Form IT-257 to be populated. Since you cannot complete a claim of right on your federal return due to the amount being under $3,000, then you cannot take the deduction on the New York State return.
For more information, please see IT-257 Instructions.
