I understand the federal status and IRS document you linked only talk about the federal status. Can I please know the source for this statement - "Your NY state residency status follows your US status." All the sources I looked at only say that your federal and state residency can be different. The NYU document also mentions the following :
- Other international visitors, including part-time students, J-1 professors and scholars, and individuals in H-4 status are considered NY RESIDENTS for state and city tax purposes; if they both:
- 1) had a place to stay in NY for at least 11 months; and
- 2) were physically in NY for at least 6 months of the year. NY Residents should file NY resident tax form IT-201.
I do fulfil all these requirements so, I am very confused.
