State tax filing

OK.  I read it. I'm still confused. My net NYS income is zero ($1698 income in Box 7 of a 1099-MISC to reimburse $1698 in travel expenses).  TT is telling me I owe $84 in NYS taxes because my NYS AGI (all from non-NYS sources) is greater than the NYS standard deduction.  So with ***ZERO*** NYS net income, TT is telling me I owe $84 in NYS taxes???  This doesn't make any sense.
