Thank you! Honestly, I didn't work a single day in NY in 2024 (or in 2023 or in 2022 or 2021). The last time I worked a day, even part of the day or stepped foot in office in the NY office was in March 2020. I've been paying NY tax anyways as, per HR, there was pressure from NY not to actually make anyone out of state a remote worker due to the loss in tax. But because I was on record as an employee located at the NY office, I've had to pay the tax all this time.
One big change is that I switched jobs from our NY based North America legal team to our Internationally based reinsurance legal team at the end of 2021. There is no longer a desk for me at the NY office, my badge was taken away and no one I work with is there. Everyone is in Bermuda or London and other than working from home, I go into the Bermuda office 4 times a year (I know, tough gig!). Based on this, they FINALLY approved my change to officially be on record as a NJ remote employee with no connection to NY. The annoying thing is that they took forever to get it into the system, hence the three months in 2024. I just don't know how that plays out exactly with the convenience rules.
