State tax filing

New York is known for the convenience rule, yes.  And if you work both "within and without" New York in the year you could fall under convenience and be required to pay New York tax on the income.  However, if you work exclusively in Texas, and you do not have more than a "de minimis" connection to New York (very small amount), then you should not be taxed in New York even if they attempt to argue to the contrary.  Please note this conversation here that I had with Community member @kristinelbly on this subject.  While there's a bit of reading on the thread, you will also see that this position is based in New York tax case law and not conjecture.

 

Like everything in the tax world, keep documentation to prove your position if it is asked of you.
