State tax filing

You are going to have to use a fraction to determine the tax on the unemployment. 

  1. Add the wage income and unemployment income= total income
  2. Divide the unemployment income by the total income= fraction
  3. Apply the fraction to the total tax paid to New York.-- this is the tax to exclude.

You will be able to get the amount of tax from the New York state tax summary page.
