State tax filing

For the Form NYC-1127, you must first determine if you are first required to file. Generally, only New York City employees living outside of the 5 boroughs must file Form NYC-1127. 

You do not need to file Form NYC-1127 if you are a city resident or are not a NYC Government employee. NYC employees are individuals employed with New York City Government agencies such as NYPD, FDNY, Department of Finance, Department of Sanitation. 

If you are required to file, please follow these steps to get to your NYC-1127:

1. Open your return.
2. Click on State on the left hand side.
3. Click Edit next to your NYS return.
4. Confirm you a resident of NYS with no NYC residency.
5. Continue through the interview until the screen Take a look at New York credits and taxes.
6. Scroll down to the section named New York City and Metro Commuter Taxes.
7. Click on Start next to NYC Nonresident Employees Tax (NYC-1127).
8. Follow the on-screen instructions.
