State tax filing

If you lived in NY for the entire year, you would be considered a NY resident for 2024 since you had an apartment there for the entire year. 

You are a New York State resident if your domicile is New York State OR:

  • you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for substantially all of the taxable year; and
  • you spend 184 days or more in New York State during the taxable year. Any part of a day is a day for this purpose, and you do not need to be present at the permanent place of abode for the day to count as a day in New York.
  •  

The most likely reason your taxes due are increasing when you choose NY as your permanent residence is that all of your income is then included as NY income.  Since you are physically located in NY and working remotely, all of this income WOULD be taxable to NY.
