Deductions & credits

@SteamTrain, Many thanks - I am currently not required to remain part of the NY office, however, I am exploring both avenues.  If I am based out of the NC office, you said, "..But for subsequent years there should only be NC taxes to file (with a lower tax rate)..".

Should I expect to pay 'more' taxes if I remained based out of the NYC office and opted to file both state tax returns (NY and NC)?
