Thank you, but none of these situations describe my situation. After filing joint returns for both Federal and NYS taxes, I plan to file an amended Federal return, changing my filing status from joint to MFS to take advantage of the non-taxibility of unemployment benefits on the Federal side. My NYS tax is not affected by this change. The result of this: my Federal filing status for 2020 is MFS while my NYS return remains unchanged at joint filing status. Under these circumstances, does NYS allow the different filing statuses?
