@jennyr63 the response provided by @DanielV01 was correct. Withholding taxes and unemployment insurance are two different things, controlled by two seperate departments (Department of Tax and Finance versus Department of Labor). Your withholding tax is based on where your employer has offices or where your employer sends you to work. Your unemployment insurance is based on where you are physically perform your services. Most of the time they are the same, but not always, as is your situation. So you are a NY employee in the eyes of tax, but are a FL employee in the eyes of unemployment. Hope that helps, and best of luck to you.
