My husband I moved to a new apartment in Yonkers, NY beginning 10/15/2020. My job/employer is also located in Yonkers, NY. With this being said, we have the following questions regarding our tax return:
For Yonkers’s residency purposes, would we be considered Yonkers Non-residents or part-year residents? According to the Yonkers residency test, you have to maintain a permanent place of abode in Yonkers and spend 184 days to be considered a Yonkers resident.
Also, is the question “Did you have an apartment or other home in Yonkers while a non-resident of Yonkers in 2020?” referring to the part of the year where I did not live in Yonkers (meaning that I was a non-resident at that point)?
For the earned income from Yonkers sources portion, how do I allocate the wages I made in Yonkers or do I even need to? My W-2 already has a Local Income Tax amount in Box 19 with the locality name designated as Yonkers, NY in Box 20. Currently we have chosen the option “Earned 100% as nonresident” but we’re not sure if this is correct.
