State tax filing

No. The 184 day residency test is to determine if you were full-year residents of New York State.

 

You and your husband were full-year NYS residents and part-year residents of Yonkers because you moved to Yonkers in the middle of the year. Therefore, you would be part-year residents of Yonkers from 10/15/2020-12/31/2020.

 

Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click on State.
  3. Edit your NYS return. 
  4. On the page Tell Us Your New York County, choose Westchester.
  5. Enter your school district.
  6. On the page Your City Residency Information, edit the field for you and your spouse and choose part-year Yonkers residents
  7. On the page Yonkers Sourced Income, answer Yes if you earned Yonkers sourced income while not a resident of Yonkers (during 1/1-10/14/21) or answer No if you did not earn Yonkers sourced income while not a resident of Yonkers. 
  8. For the screen Living Quarters in Yonkers, answer No (I am assuming you did not have a living quarters while not living in Yonkers during 10/15-12/31).
  9. On the Allocate City Income screen, you will have to allocate the income you received (such as interest and dividends) that were received throughout the year, including while you were a Yonkers resident. Since you moved in mid-October, you would use .5 month for October and a full month for November and December. This is 2.5 months/12, which would be an allocation factor of approximately 20.8%. Multiply this by the amounts in the federal column. For items that were strictly not Yonkers sourced, you can enter $0. For items that were completely Yonkers sourced, enter the full amount. 
  10. Continue through your return.
