State tax filing

Although NY is aggressive on remote workers for NY based employers, the single day rule applies*. You do not need to file a NY return.  The fact that your employer did not report it as NY source income, in boxes 15-20 of your W-2, supports this position. 

 

*It requires at least 1 day in NY to be subject to NYS income tax, even when it's for your own convenience.
