The law says they can only tax you on New York state source income, and the method has to be applied in the same manner to everyone. Since they use the same calculation to determine state tax due then apply the income percentage, it is valid. (This is the method to squeeze the maximum taxes- I guess since you do get the credit for income paid to another state on your resident tax return, it evens out in the end.) @Cortcoll
