It depends. You have to enter the amount of your unemployment that was received as a nonresident resulting from your employment in New York State. If your unemployment compensation received was a benefit for working solely in New York State, then you would allocate your entire unemployment to your non-resident New York State tax return.
If the unemployment compensation received from New York State is based on wage or salary income earned partly in and partly out of New York State, you would have to determine the amount allocable to New York State in the same manner as the wage and salary income on which it is based. For example, if your wages were originally 50% allocated to your resident state and 50% allocated to New York, you would use that same allocation for your unemployment.
If you did not pay enough taxes on your unemployment during the year, you may have to pay additional taxes on it when you complete your tax return. New York considers unemployment income as taxable income for residents and non-residents.
I do not know what your resident state is, but you should be able to get a credit of taxes paid to New York State on your resident tax return.
