State tax filing

thank you, Amy C for this detailed reply. Yes, I know get it after having gone thru the IT-203 calculations myself.

 

how does one come up with a number for line 36?
I believe i need to go thru line 33-35 to determine that  -- take the appropriate standard deduction. 

 

how does one determine line 38?  i believe i have to use the NY state tax tables....

 

thanks.
