In Nov 2022 I moved from NYC to England and lived there until mid-Feb 2024 (did not maintain a residence in NYC during this time). Then I returned to the US.
- From mid-Feb to early June 2024, I worked remotely for an NY-based company but had no permanent residence.
- For two separate periods of 30 days each I stayed in different Airbnbs in NYC
- Otherwise, I traveled around to visit different friends and family outside of NY state (but did 30 days of remote work for my NY-based company over that time)
- During this whole period I was deciding whether I would be staying in NY permanently or not.
- In early June I moved permanently to Virginia and began working for a VA-based company, which is where I still am.
I am trying to figure out if my time in NY would count as a "nonresident" or a "part-year resident" of NY. I know the form to submit is the same (IT-203) but the difference in refund is huge: $450 if I put down "part-time resident" and $2750 if I put down "nonresident." I think this is because nonresidents don't have to pay NYC taxes? I read everything here: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/nonresident-faqs.htm, but I am still confused as to whether I would be considered "domiciled" during my time in NYC or not.
I would greatly appreciate any insight!
