Yes it matters. You have an end of the year statement. The IRS knows it and so does NY. You should keep those in a financial notebook.
NY singles can deduct up to $5,000 while MFJ can deduct up to $10,000. If you don't know if it was $10,000 or $12,000 then it does not matter. If you don't know if it was $1,000 or $2,000 then yes it matters.
