What makes you think that anyone in this TurboTax forum knows more about international taxation than KPMG?
Ask KPMG to explain why the severance is considered New York source income, or why you and your husband are filing a New York tax return at all, if you neither live nor work in New York. (However, New York is aggressive about taxing people, especially high-income people, who claim to have left the state, but still have enough ties to meet the definition of a New York resident. Discuss this with KPMG.)

I don't understand that. How could he be paying tax for past years on his 2021 New York tax return? You might have misunderstood something. Again, ask KPMG all of your questions.
