State tax filing
I am going to offer another opinion, in that I believe you have some risk.
This is a hot issue for states at the moment and there is state litigation that will make its way through the court system all the way to the Supreme Court. But this will take years.
In the meantime, states, and NY in particular, are aggressively taking the position that remote workers are subject to NY state tax. In order to prevail on the "convenience of the employer rule" the employee must be obligated to work outside of the state. This exception is very narrow. A well noted tax attorney lost his case in this very area.
So once again, I am just going to say that "yes" you could have some exposure here regardless of how your employer is handling your withholding.
While you are completing your return based on how your employer issued your W-2, that doesn't always mean companies are handling this correctly. Interpretations can change and / or vary.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
