It depends. New York follows the convenience of the employer rule, meaning you may be subject to New York income tax if there’s no business reason why you are working remotely.
Nonresidents don’t have to pay New York City income tax.
New York is aggressive in taxing remote workers; however, court cases have decided that nonresident employers who are not required to work in NY and never work there are not subject to NY income tax. However, your employer may still withhold tax and NY may still audit you.
It’s best to get your employer’s take on your situation.

I work for a NY company, remotely from NC. I spent 1 day in 2017 on site, but my W-2 has full salary...
