State tax filing

That is a mistake on your W2 that can be corrected on your NY state return.  Non-residents of NYC are not liable for NYC taxes.  Here is a NY FAQ for reference.  Note the NYC residency question/answer.  

 

When you work your NY state return be sure to indicate you were not a NYC resident.  The amount withheld by NYC will be credited on your return.  

 

Note:  be sure you entered the NYC withholding from your W2 so that it shows as an overpayment.
