Your refund should go down if you switch from New York City non-residency to part-year residency. I’m assuming in 2022 your worked in NYC but had no NYC withholding because you listed Long Island as your address.
Someone would have to look at your return to tell you why your state refund increased.
You are most likely a New York City resident from March if you have an apartment in the City. New York has a statutory residency rule.
The requirements to be a New York City resident are the same as those needed to be a New York State resident. You are a New York City resident if:
- your domicile is New York City; or
- you have a permanent place of abode there and you spend 184 days or more in the city.
In general, a permanent place of abode is a building or structure where a person can live that you permanently maintain and is suitable for year-round use. It does not matter whether you own it or not.
