I am a visiting scholar at Stony Brook University. I arrived in New York on August 30, 2023, and spent around 110 days in New York during the year. I'm currently preparing my 2023 tax return.
From September to December 2023, I rented a room in New York on a month-by-month basis. In January 2024, I moved to another room with month-by-month rent in New York. and the instruction says:
You are considered maintaining a living quarter in New York State if you or your spouse have a dwelling available for your use. These living quarters would include a house, apartment, co-op, hotel, or any other living quarters that are suitable for year-round use, maintained and paid by you or your spouse or maintained and paid for you by another person, family member or employer.
In response to the state tax related question, "Did you maintain living quarters in New York State?" should I answer "No"? since I did not maintain a room for year-round use (only rented one for nearly four month in 2023) and spent less than 183 days in New York?
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
