That's interesting to hear. I would owe nothing to NYS? Even if as I said, my business is in NY, and all my earnings via my clients are coming from NY? Yes, I work remotely from Georgia but 100% of my income is generated from NYS. You seem to be saying if I am physically in Georgia than NYS becomes irrelavant even if my business address and all business is carried out there remotely.
Correct.
If you work for a New York employer (as a W-2 employee), and work remotely for your own convenience (not the employer's convenience), then you can sometimes owe NYS tax on your income. However, this does not apply to self-employed/independent contractors, and even if it did, it does not apply if you never set foot in New York State during the tax year. As an independent contractor, if you did perform some work while visiting NY, that portion of your income would be taxable non-resident income.
For what it's worth, California taxes independent contractors based on where their clients are located, so if you had clients in California, you would owe non-resident income tax on that portion of your income. But New York does not. As long as you did not physically perform work while living in or visiting NY, you only owe Georgia tax.
