Are you sure you had enough New York itemized deductions to exceed the standard deduction?
- For New York, medical expenses are reduced by 10% of AGI (not 7.5%).
- State and local income tax or sales tax is not deductible at all on the New York return.
- If your federal AGI (Form IT-201 line 19) is more than $187,900 or your New York AGI (IT-201 line 33) is more than $100,000 your New York itemized deductions are reduced.
Is your filing status married filing separately, and your spouse took the standard deduction?
