Deductions & credits

Hi @GeoffreyG , hoping you can help as you seem so knowledgable on this. I did try to read the PDF you linked to but the link is broken.

 

A couple of quick facts -

My husband and I got married August 2019

He moved from NYC to London October 2018

I moved to from NYC to London October 2019

My husband is British with a US green card

I am American with a UK Residence Permit

 

We have been told that he needs to pay new york city and state tax on HIS income from 2019 when he was working soley in the UK even though he only worked 2 weeks in NYC. The reasoning is because I worked in NYC that year and we got married and since he moved from NYC within a certain timeframe. We can't believe this is the case. We know we will have to pay US taxes since he is a green card holder but paying NY state and city tax for him we think is crazy. Hoping you can help!
